I applied for the part-time MPP program at Georgetown, and was accepted for 2019 admissions with a $5k / year scholarship. I've decided to defer my application for 2020 admission, and have been accepted for 2020. I'm hoping to get a larger scholarship for next year, and I've already got some more achievements I can add to my application to make it more competitive. I'm aiming for a financial aid package of around $20k / year (at least for the first two years, the part-time program is 3 years). My question is, is it worth applying to other schools who are known for generous financial aid packages, to be able to negotiate a better package from Georgetown? Or should I not bother considering the time, money and effort required? Here are some of the schools I was thinking of applying to - WWS - CMU Heinz - LBJ - Sanford I think I have a decent shot getting into at least one of these schools, Georgetown is my first choice (due to location) but is probably a target school for me.
