Looking for additional funding for Fletcher School, Tufts U

[ramonzuka]

Hello everyone,

I have just graduated from the undergraduate School of Law at Osaka University with a first prize for the defense of my thesis. I am currently doing research in my alma mater under a Japanese government grant. However, I am currently looking for full scholarship to go to the US for graduate study.

I would like to explain my current situation a little. Three weeks ago, I received notification that I was accepted to the 2-year Masters in Law and Diplomacy (MALD) program at the Fletcher School, Tufts University in Boston. They even offered me a scholarship of 15000USD per year, renewable for the second year. However, it is very insufficient, as tuition fees alone cost 34000USD per year. I have searched high and low for scholarships I am eligible to apply to, but I have found only one \, which is Malaysia's (my home country) central bank scholarship. I was ineligible for other scholarships due to various conditions like being open only for Americans, only for undergrad, not for intl relations etc. Although I know that putting all of one's eggs in one basket is risky, I have no choice. Since my family is not well-off (dad is unemployed), if I do not get more funding at the latest by the time I apply for the visa in June or July, I might have to abandon Fletcher altogether.

As such, in order to realize my ambition of becoming a researcher or practitioner of international affairs, it would delight me if anyone in this mailing list can provide me with any information on such scholarships.

Thank you.

Best regards,

Sorry, I forgot to add that I did not get a tuition waiver, and the scholarship is to be used to pay for the tuition.
