Squawker Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 I've been offered places at 2 MA programs, one with no funding (I don't think they offer any to MA students) and one with fully paid tuition plus a stipend. I want to attend the former, but I've been told by some people that I should ask them for some kind of assistantship, and that I could have success if I tell them that I've received a "better" offer somewhere else. Has anyone here done this? It doesn't seem wrong to ask, but I don't want to start off on the wrong foot by demanding money from these people right after they accepted me and after I more or less told them their program was my first choice.

sarajune Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 As long as you're polite about it, what's wrong with asking? It's your right to ask, and if they can't the worst they'll do is say "no" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
