  1. Does this apply to MA students?
  2. Not even for Columbia? Could you please elaborate your reasoning? I still have time before I must decide on a path to take, and I would greatly appreciate any type of insight I can get.
  3. I am one of those people whose undergraduate scores were not quite enough to land me directly into a PhD program in history in top schools. I thus decided that my best option would be to do a Masters first, then possibly get a fully funded PhD degree at an Ivy. I am fortunate to have enough personal savings to fund one year of study, but that means I will need to find external funding for my second year, as well as get significant amounts of student loan (thus going into debt). Willing to take the risk, though, because history is the only way to go for me! Cannot imagine working in any other field.
  4. I have messaged them, but unfortunately they have answered in the negative. Oh well, time to go in debt...
  5. Hey guys and gals, I've recently been accepted for a Masters in Columbia University, but due to personal issues I wasn't able to find the additional time to apply to their internal fellowships and funding. Now that everything is right again in life and I have some time to take a breather, I realize it's already past most fellowship deadlines. Under the eventuality that nothing is available at all, I'd be able to pool basically every cent of my savings and make it work with student loans, but I'd rather not have that much debt if I can help it. Wondering if any of you know of any that are still open to this date? If not, could anyone suggest a good place to start searching myself? So far, I've looked into public databases but the process of looking at each individual grant and seeing if it fits my particular situation is rather time-consuming. Is there no better and more efficient way to do this? Also, is it common for graduate students to complete their studies without any internal or external grants in the U.S.? (My undergraduate tuition was less than 2000CAD for a semester so I could easily afford everything with a part-time job.) Here's a few circumstance-specific details: I am Canadian I identify as a woman I will be studying International history, specifically US-China-Japan relations
