AMS Scholarship

[Piji]

I was wondering if I should duplicate this post here, since I have already posted it in "Comments, Questions, etc" section. Anyway, I think this section is more appropriate for such a question.

Hey everybody,

I have gotten an offer from University of Amsterdam in Cognitive Science (MSc) and have accepted it. There is a scholarship available to be considered for, Amsterdam Merit Scholarship (AMS). They had told me that only those students are considered for AMS which accept the offer of admission. Now that I have accepted the offer, they asked me whether my acceptance is final or it is contingent upon getting the AMS.

I am wondering what I should tell them, since I actually can attend the UvA without this scholarship (through loans), yet I DO want to get it!

Any suggestions?

Cheers!
