Negotiating Funding

[appleapple]

Who has heard of negotiating funding in Political Science?

In other disciplines, students leverage higher funding school B against lower funding but preferred school A.

How does one initiate this in Political Science?

I've heard of it, from a current grad student in a top 5 program. She negotiated an increased funding package at the top 5 school based on an offer she had from a top 10 school. I don't remember whether she was focused on speaking with administrators or professors, but she did get a better offer.

Can you say/pm me which schools were involved? It'd be helpful to know which of my potential schools are open to it
