ChoSundari Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I sincerely hope it comes before the open house...so that once I have attended the open house, I am all set to decide ! Got a response: "aid information will be available by the end of the month" Which we knew already... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z.TIE Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Got a response: "aid information will be available by the end of the month" Which we knew already... Well they responded the same way about the admission decisions to someone on this forum....as in on 8th they said they would be out at the end of the month-as published on the website....but we did get the results on 8th itself...so I think they will just resonate the official published dates....we may still hear from they this afternoon or tomorrow....

ynwa_2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I got a call from HGSE finaid today about receiving an external fellowship. I am going to assume other ones like urban scholar award people will get called too. I also asked when the packet will be sent and the lady said very soon.

emiliella Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Just got an email from FinAid saying to check the portal. They did give me a 'grant' but it is not the Leadership in Education award I applied for. So, I'm confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kasye Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Just got the package. $20500 direct unsubsidized loans. Does anyone know about loan forgiveness? Would the years that I have already worked as a teacher in a low income school count towards the 5 years required for loan forgiveness? Good luck everyone!

jose_lr Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I also got that $14000 grant. How did it go for other international students? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChoSundari Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I also got that $14000 grant. How did it go for other international students? i feel like it doesn't even begin to make a dent in the 9-month cost of Harvard...I'm grateful but thinking i'm going to have to decline...*heartbroken* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NMB Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 $5000 HGSE Grant... sooooo mehhhhh. For all the HGSE grant/loan combo folk, have yall clicked over to the "Messages" tab that indicates the grants are contingent on borrowing a minimum of your loan quantity? Even if I max out that $20500, I will still have ~$42000 unmet needs!! *faints* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GradSchool'15 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 14K for me too. I also got that $14000 grant. How did it go for other international students? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z.TIE Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Did anyone get the leadership award??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elveintiocho Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I got the $14,000 grant too, and I'm also an international student. I'm a little sad about not getting the Leadership in Education award, but this definitely helps. It's roughly 33% of the cost of the program, so I'm definitely not complaining!

PeterQuince Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Hi Folks, Where are you seeing the specific dollar amounts? When I click "View & Accept Your Aid Package" it brings me to an acceptance portal, but gives me no details as to what I am accepting. I did receive a call regarding a University-wide fellowship, which is very exciting, but I'm not sure how the other pieces fit in. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kasye Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 just click accept peter, you aren't accepting the aid, just the terms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JR14 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Yeah, about those financial aid awards... Is anyone else feeling like they just got hit by a bus? Exactly where is that "Remaining need" money supposed to come from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emiliella Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I wonder how many Leadership awards they gave this year... Probably, they decided to split it in half and give more of us the 14k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterQuince Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 just click accept peter, you aren't accepting the aid, just the terms. Thanks! I was so hesitant to accept anything that I didn't realize that I was only accepting the terms! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ltrujizzle Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I know people have heard about the Leadership in Education awards, however, I am curious to know if anyone has received information about the Urban Scholars award? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JR14 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 ltrujizzle, I'm honestly not sure. Need some time to think about it, do the math, hunt down more funding sources. You're probably risking less by going to Harvard than by going to a different (unfunded) program, since the resources once you get there are fantastic... but it's still a huge gamble. (Which we all knew before applying, of course.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samda Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Did anyone else see a Perkins loan on their award? I'm trying to understand how I got a loan for extreme need students but didn't get a higher grant amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JR14 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 samda, I think need based grants are capped at $14,000, so if that's what you got then you're in good company. The Facebook page shows a lot of people with that same grant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
