I think they'll come out by tomorrow afternoon - in my acceptance letter, it said "Financial aid information will be communicated to you via a separate email from your financial aid counselor . . .

I received a similar mail. However, a current first year joint japan scholar told me that in his case the notifications came at the same time. Hence, I was wondering if someone heard back already?

TuDream Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I just got my finaid email, pointing me to the finaid system where it indicates "we were not able to offer you assistance" . Well, right now making a decision becomes harder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPPhopeful322 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I basically just got a bunch of loans.. no scholarship. Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In your MYFAID portal, on the left there's the bar "Menu" you click on it and if it does not say "Awards/Loan Eligibility" they cannot offer you any financial assistance.

MPPhopeful322 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) Does anyone know how likely it is to get an RA/TA-ship? Pretty disappointed in the financial aid offer. Edited March 14, 2019 by MPPhopeful322 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomnomnomnom Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 HKS-HBS / HKS-GSB joint degree applicant here. Congrats to all who got in, and especially those who got money!!! So I don't see an "Awards/Loan Eligibility" link (#supersadface), but I was interviewed for a CPL fellowship (not the Zuckerberg, therefore not a joint degree-fellowship) a couple of weeks back. I'm wondering if I'm reading this right - am I still under consideration for money? Financial aid information for individuals who are under consideration for admission to the Harvard Business School will be available at the end of March. Otherwise, If you do not see an “Awards/Loan Eligibility” link in your MYFAID menu options, unfortunately this means we were not able to offer you assistance. Please review your “Important Information/Messages” MYFAID page for important information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is that all HBS/HKS applicants will get their award decisions when HBS R2 decisions are announced later this month. Mind me asking which CPL fellowship you interviewed for?

Welp, the dream was short-lived. I think HKS is off the table for me. Same. I think that's the right choice - no way am I taking on all those loans for a career in government/non-profits. I'm sure HKS is a great program but their high price ($85k/year!) and low aid seems like a misguided strategy for a public service school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gradschool123345 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I was expecting to see a disappointing financial aid offer if admitted but it doesn't make it easier. The tuition costs are definitely a tough pill to swallow though (esp. compared to my other offers which allow me to attend Sanford / Harris / Heinz for 20-40K total). I know it would be a crazy financial decision but I'm not willing to drop HKS from the list just yet. Anyone else in the same boat and considering taking on this much debt for the opportunity to study at Harvard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaoloC Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Accepted to the MC/MPA but disappointed with absolutely no financial aid. With a Princeton/WWS offer on the table, making a case for HKS at $90k/yr is very hard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
