jennesy Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Not that I'm surprised that my offer into the MA program didn't come with a financial aid package, but what does one do in this case? I never applied to a masters program, mainly because they generally don't come with funding. I applied for the PhD and got accepted into the MA program (which is fine, I need more training before embarking on the PhD) but I'm not sure where to go from here. Tuition at NYU is $24k, there's no way my family or I can afford that (plus living expenses in NYC...agh!). Help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kn0519 Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Hi Jennesy, I definitely feel your frustration. I'm in a similar boat with NYU as well although I did get awarded 1 scholarship for 13K. In my award letter, I only have that scholarship, work-study, and loans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest butterfly Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 You can try for the Javits fellowship next year. You are allowed to apply after already being in grad school for a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
