Peace Corps Masters International-funding

[indorichai]

Hi, so I've applied to Florida State University and I have a very good chance of getting in (since the coordinator of the program sent me an email saying that there shouldn't be a problem and that it will take about a week for it to become official). I've applied for the Masters International program where you work on your degree for the first year on campus and then you go off and serve for the Peace Corps and complete the rest. FSU hasn't told me anything about funding and I'm not sure how to go about asking. This would be an out of state school so the tuition is going to be high (about 33,000 bucks). I do need financial help and if I don't get some need, then I don't think I can attend and I don't know if I'd want to take out a huge loan. I could apply to in state colleges, but there weren't any interesting programs in GA.

Has anyone done a Masters International program? If so, how did you pay for grad school?

Also, my GPA is a 2.51 so its a miracle that I got into a decent college to begin with.

I had several friends who completed the PCMI program at Michigan Tech. MTU is really big on its Peace Corps program, so they offer all PCMIs a 30% tuition waiver and pay for all of your credits while you're in the field. My friends made up the rest with GTA or GRA positions. Perhaps FSU offers the same sort of financial support for its students?

I wish they did I just asked and they told me that they don't offer a penny No financial support, this really sucks...
