Nope.

$10K. I don't think that's enough to justify going.

I emailed Jessye today to ask when to expect to hear about scholarships, and she said "it will be within the next 10 days." I was accepted to GPPI on 2/7, received the scholarship email on 2/8, and submitted my essay on 2/12.

Congrats on your acceptances! I'm in the exact same boat (with the exception of the environmental policy specialization) so I'm interested to hear what people have to say about these two schools in relation to post-graduation employment in DC. My gut tells me that the cheaper option is the better option regardless, even if it means being tucked away in Bloomington for two years. Perhaps it really does vary by one's specialization. I keep wondering whether there much validity to claims from more rural schools that they really do have strong ties to DC and can, as a result, really help students find employment there after graduation, however. It probably makes sense to wait for info re: whether or not funding is going to happen at either school. Waiting is so difficult haha.
