invincible49 Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 Anyone applying for this? After being receiving no aid from HKS, I have to try my best to get some financial aid...Anyone else putting in an application?
Anathema Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 I am but I am puzzled by what I should do about the mismatch in timings between the programs that I've been extended offers for and the decision of the WB/JJ scholarship. The WB/JJ decisions are, from what I hear, announced in mid-July whilst SIPA and Duke want an answer as to whether I'd be joining their respective programmes by April/May.
invincible49 Posted March 20, 2019 Author Posted March 20, 2019 That is true. I think we just have to make a choice and things hope for the best in July.. Im in a similar boat with HKS and Duke- Duke even gave me some tuition off
Pe123 Posted May 7, 2019 Posted May 7, 2019 Anyone applying for the preferred programs and not the partner programs? any update?

Anathema Posted June 21, 2019 Posted June 21, 2019 I hear they contact finalists every year a few weeks before the announcement of the final scholarship awards. If anyone receives such a call, I'd be grateful if they posted about it here. It would save me the $2,000 that SIPA wants me to deposit before the 30th of June.
Pe123 Posted June 21, 2019 Posted June 21, 2019 They contact me through email asking for any document that would prove the financial aid offered by other sources. This had a deadline of the 10th. I applied last year unsuccesfully and they never reached out for anything. Im hoping this request was a good signd, although they specifically said that it meant nothing but a request to finalize the review of my file and not a decision of any kind. Hope this helps
Sarah qween Posted June 26, 2019 Posted June 26, 2019 any updates? any one else got any kind of email (preferred program)? waiting is hard and with school deadline approaching
Pa2019 Posted June 26, 2019 Posted June 26, 2019 (edited) Nope, no email yet... Edited June 26, 2019 by Pa2019 Forgot to add something
Pa2019 Posted June 27, 2019 Posted June 27, 2019 No one has received any mail yet? Does anyone know of any scholarship winners who have received their results?
Anathema Posted June 28, 2019 Posted June 28, 2019 I haven't. I've even dropped them an email but received no response.
dulmaxxi Posted July 2, 2019 Posted July 2, 2019 I also haven't received any response yet. Been checking my e-mail almost every hour since last week. I heard that 3,4 years ago, the e-mail came on 25th June and for last year 2018, the email was received on 28th June. I was kinda relieved today to find this thread that others are in the same situation as me.
Pa2019 Posted July 2, 2019 Posted July 2, 2019 Oh yeah... We're all in the same boat...worst case scenario is that none of us from this thread have received the award....
Pe123 Posted July 3, 2019 Posted July 3, 2019 One year ago today somebody posted in one of these forums that the status on the WB page had changed to "every winner has been contacted". and I just checked the website and it doesnt have any announcement yet, so yeas, fingers crossed!! Best of luck to everyone here, its my second year applying and not know anything for the second year in a row would SUCK.
Pe123 Posted July 3, 2019 Posted July 3, 2019 Hi! Just to let you know that I received my letter early today. Good luck to all of you.
ZUGO Posted July 4, 2019 Posted July 4, 2019 Congratulations to you. The wait is actually killing. Hope you wont mind assisting with info on what school you will be attending, country of origin and in what field of development you work? Thanks.
dulmaxxi Posted July 4, 2019 Posted July 4, 2019 Congratulations and best wishes in your studies!!! Really great to hear that they are notifying successful applicants during this time. May I also inquire in the case of your last year's application, did they notify you in any way that yours did not go through or they only reach out those whose application is successful?
Pa2019 Posted July 4, 2019 Posted July 4, 2019 Congratulations!! That's great to hear.. Best of luck for your studies!
Anathema Posted July 4, 2019 Posted July 4, 2019 Do they not send all successful applicants their acceptance letters simultaneously? Is it a periodic thing?
