Department head

Totally random. I have a phone call scheduled for tomorrow morning to negotiate. A little less sure what we're gonna talk about now though 😆. I still have some questions about what my assistantship actually entails though. RISD is still super expensive, but at least this is more than ~nothing~

So I just got an email from RISD saying there were updates in my portal. I assumed it was just a late notification of my decision that I recieved yesterday, but I looked anyways and all of a sudden I have a $20,000 fellowship along with my $4,000 assistantship? I dont know if there was a mistake originally or if someone else declined and I got their money, but I guess I appreciate it either way

Graduate students are not eligible for the pell grant. I'm not sure if there's other grant money available. I'm expecting my federal aid to consist mostly or possibly solely of loan offers.

I cant seem to find it 😅

What page is this? Where did you see this information?

I only got $4,000 assistantship 😅 from RISD ceramics. What medium? And where do you have higher offers? Never be afraid to ask for more money! The worst they can say is no. Get your bag for sure

Would love it if people would share their funding offers (and what department). For me, nothing at all from SAIC, and a $4,000 assistantship award from RISD. Not that exciting...

I have recieved my acceptance status update, about 10 minutes ago. Not too stoked about the funding offered... but hopefully it will be better when they actually get my FAFSA

Yeah, I got my email with my login and stuff. It doesnt display any financial information for me... I'm assuming I didnt recieve any merit scholarships I guess, and the the financial aid page on the student portal is just totally blank for me? I guess because maybe the fafsa still hasn't been processed? Is it the same for anyone else?

Same here

Would anyone who got accepted to SAIC be willing to share their funding offer if they know it?

Nothing from University of Washington for me. I'm assuming rejection at this point, but i guess who knows.

I just had my call too. Accepted! Yay. Now I have to make a decision... did they happen to give you any info about financial aid? In my phone call I asked but she said she didn't really know about that stuff but I would be getting an email in the next couple of days

Sure, but why cant they just say what they're gonna say over email 😭. My anxiety cant handle this. Did you have your call yet? What did they say?
