n2011 Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 has anyone on this board received a Leadership in Education award? I'm guessing the decisions were released with the award letters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanMcD Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I know the financial aid office, as of yesterday anyway, is still putting together financial aid packages for people receiving need based awards as well, so they may not all be out yet.

PhDreams Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Are we still receiving this info via post? I've been noticing people talk about emails. JerusalemTeacher 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afinch6 Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Pretty good actually, better than I was expecting. I'm an international student (with a co-signer, mind) so I don't get offered federal loan by the school. I hadn't applied for any of the formal scholarships but I did receive a sizable amount in grant, which is nice. That gives me hope! thnx! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heber Tito Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Hello guys! Any other international students who already got their financial aid letter? I got mine yesterday and they only gave me a grant of around $12,000 (need based), which is pretty bad considering that I do not qualify for anything else. Still trying to delve into any additional sources of funding so any info would be more than helpful. Good luck to everyone!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still trying to delve into any additional sources of funding so any info would be more than helpful. Good luck to everyone!!! From what I understand $12,000 is the maximum amount they give in grant. The only other sources of funding are the scholarships which require a separate application, so if you didn't fill any of those out then that's the max amount you could be awarded. mjsmith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpedge Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Are all of these "letters" delivered by email? Just wondering if I should be giving up for the day, since the mail was just delivered... Jenni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Limmy87 Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 has anyone on this board received a Leadership in Education award? I'm guessing the decisions were released with the award letters I heard back last week that I was an alternate for this. I'm not expecting to get anything because who would turn that down!

pourtant Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I heard back last week that I was an alternate for this. I'm not expecting to get anything because who would turn that down!

nbdgolf Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 @DanMcD- if yours came in the mail yesterday and you are in Boston, it seems like other letters should be arriving in the next few days, give or take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
