Am really sorry about the scholarship, and I dont really know much about funding options in your country but I had an Indian friend who attended an MBA program in the UK with a student loan from a bank. Also i think there are amazing job prospects after the MPP, especially with international organizations. Since the MPP at LKYSPP is your preferred program then i suggest you stick with it. However, if you think you are really going to be stressed out financially, you could defer your admission to next year. Someone on the facebook page said she would be deferring her admission and that the people at the admissions office were very helpful. Wish you the best! Thanks Zeezee for your support. Deferring would do for me as I don't want to lose this offer. Hopefully they understand my concern.

aemi Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 8 minutes ago, Zeezee said: Ohh, you put in a request to defer already? Actually I emailed them about asking funding status and options for me and in that email I asked them if there are no funding options then can they defer my offer.
Zeezee Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 Well aemi I hope you get some positive feedback on funding.

Seaglass they responded that they are sorry that they are unable to grant me any scholarship as they have announced already the scholarship recipients for this year. Have you sent your acceptance? I have sent mine but still not sure of funding as I don't want to get support of my family and interest based loan is not an option for me. Do you have any idea in case a scholarship holder declines his/her offer then are there any chances of transferring it to others? Definitely it has to go somewhere they can't just cancel it. I have seen posts of some person who might have declined scholarship as he/she was interested in another school so just making a guess that there might be others as well. I have emailed them with this query last Friday but no response yet. Edited April 25, 2016 by aemi

I have emailed them with this query last Friday but no response yet. Hi aemi, sorry for the delay! I'm in the same boat as you...was told by the committee that I am not considered for the scholarship either-- even when I pointed out some people may decline theirs. I've sent in my papers but not the financial form since I really don't know if I can afford this either. Although I'm looking into loan options, even then I may have difficulty taking out private loans Any updates from the committee?
ms_overthinker Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 I guess I'm one of those who will be notified by end of May. I still haven't received any email whatsoever regarding my application I'm starting to lose hope (sorry for being cynical). LKYSPP was the only school I applied to, and I'm hoping to get a scholarship. Anyway, congratulations to those who got accepted!
curiousstudent Posted December 8, 2016 Posted December 8, 2016 Hello, I am looking to apply for the MPP course for the 2018-2019 batch. I have not yet done my GRE. Is it essential? Do all applicants give the GRE score while applying?
Ella16 Posted December 9, 2016 Posted December 9, 2016 Hello, I'm looking into applying to the LKY MPP but I can't find much info regarding testimonies. Could someone who's already studying there or finished already give their two cents on the program and how it compares to top US programs? I'd also be grateful if anyone who got a scholarship could post their stats. Thank you.

Good luck, I have not heard anything yet but last year people from the americas didn't get their interview calls until early/mid march so I think it will take about that long. Glad we're getting more activity on this thread.
Chasing_Shadows Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 Hello everyone! This thread is so quiet this year... Thought I would share for those of you who have upcoming interviews or still waiting to hear: I just had my interview for LKY MPP program on Wednesday. Pretty nerve-wracking, but I think I did ok. The questions were all case study-oriented, no questions like "why you chose LKY etc." so you really do need to know the case and understand its main argument and salient points. The interview lasted about 35 minutes in total. I had a professor interview me, and she was perfectly nice and friendly, which was a relief. Good luck to everyone! Let's keep each other posted on your progress =)
