What is the average funding package for American SIS or GW Elliott for International Affairs?

[danishdutchpower]

Hello Everyone. I am going to apply to Princeton WWS, American SIS, and GW Elliott based on what I have learned from professors and professionals regarding funding opportunities (I know SAIS, SIPA, and Georgetown are stingy with financial aid money(don't give it out)as I know professors who teach at those institutions).

What are some of the average awards people have received at American SIS and GW (30%, 40%, 50%, 60%,...)? Do you think I can get in with the stats below (people who attend these schools)?

Here are my stats:

- Pursuing MBA now

-Graduated college with a 3.7 G.P.A. with B.S. in Accounting and Economics (Double Major)

-Cum Laude (my school does it based on percentage, not GPA)

-Graduated top tenth percentile

-University Honors Scholar (graduated from honors college)

-Dean's list every semester except one or two (can't remember)

-Special Events Coordinator of Honors College Student Council

-President of College Republicans

-Treasurer of College Republicans

-President of Economics Club-brought four ambassadors from DC to the school to speak as well as two counselors of economic affairs

-Accounting Internship

-Seasonal job

-Golden Key International Honor Society

-Omicron Delta Epsilon

-Awards from school recognizing leadership

-Visits to nursing home

-International Minded

-I am a amateur photographer - I travel throughout the East Coast to take pictures of Urban, Rural, and Water landscapes

Your best shot at getting detailed information is just to directly ask American's financial aid department. They should be able to tell you what % of grad students get need-based finaid, merit based finaid, average award size in both cases, work-study opportunities, etc. Obviously this is only for awards they themselves give out, not third party ones.
