Additional funding after commitment?

[nycpolicy]

Do schools improve funding offers after you've made a commitment to them? How often/likely is this and which schools if any are known to do this?

This isn't on your list, but Syracuse offers significant aid in the form of graduate assistantships.  Some of these are awarded as part of the initial offer, but I remember a handful being available for students to apply for when they arrived in July (Syracuse's MPA is a 12-month program starting in the summer).

FWIW, I was told by one of the schools I applied to that if funds are available, it is possible to receive additional funding after you have enrolled.

I assumed it was BS, but actually got $10K more a year after the deadline. My guess is that you're more likely to receive additional funding in smaller programs, where the multiplier is less likely to be accurate.

Hey can I ask which program that is?

Yale Jackson, but I've also heard of this happening at SAIS
