I am looking to apply to MPP programs this fall to enroll in Fall 2022. I’m coming across a lot of these hybrid MPP-DA programs (Heinz, Wagner, McCourt, Harris, etc.). Hoping to do policy analysis and research in the nonprofit or government sectors after getting my degree. I know I want to use an MPP program to strengthen my quant skills to prepare me for these types of positions, but I don’t think I want to end up in a pure data science/analytics role. My question is would the traditional programs provide enough quant training or should I be seriously considering the hybrid programs? Any other thoughts on the differences between two types of programs would be greatly appreciated as well.

I'm applying to MPP programs this fall. I've started trying to look for any non-loan funding options that I could apply for to help me pay for school and haven't really found anything yet. Am I wasting my time searching for other scholarships or am I just not looking in the right place?
