sl332907 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I was accepted to UCLA last Friday, but I called in Monday and they said I did not receive the graduate fellowship... This was probably the only way I was able to finance my graduate education. Do any of you know if there are any scholarship/fellowship opportunities for undocumented students? I am in a situation where I do not qualify for loans. I was also accepted to UChicago's SSA program with a $30,000 scholarship, but their tuition is just way too high!! And including living costs I don't know if it will be affordable. I'm trying to make some tough decisions here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been told to get in contact with the SW department (preferably someone over financial aid and scholarships) and see if they can match what Chicago offered you or at least something close. I'm not applying/attending UCLA, but this is what I did for NYU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just overly pessimistic and won't believe it until I see it. I heard her say it and I didn't believe it. I am wayy to excited as you can see.

MargaretSG Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 @sl332907 Check out this site! I'm not sure how many of these make decisions prior to the 4/15 cutoff, but you may find some good scholarship opportunities!

I am also deciding between the two schools because Chicago SSA program offered me a 28k scholarship. I am too afraid to call into UCLA to see whether or not I got the fellowship, so I am just waiting it out until maybe like next week . If I do not get the fellowship at UCLA, I think I would be going to Chicago because 44-28= 16k while UCLA's tuition around 22k (considering I will not be getting any scholarships). Argh!

anony2888 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I was rejected this morning. My only option is WUSTL and I cannot afford it, so I won't be going to school in the fall. Best wishes to all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCtheSS Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 (edited) @anony2888, I'm so sorry. Is WUSTL unable to provide additional funding in any way? I understand being debt-averse; for the most part, we're going into fields that are undervalued salary-wise yet require $100K to train for them. It's crazy.

anony2888 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 @RCtheSS: They offered a $10,000 scholarship pro-rated over two years for the MSW and no funding at all for the MPH, so my cash price would be $99K tuition before living expenses. I have not attempted to negotiate for more because I do not have excellent numbers or research to cite. They would have to give me at least $30K more in order for me to feel comfortable with the cost and that's extremely unlikely. Congrats to all of you on your hard-earned successes!

Hey its amazing itself that you were accepted for a dual master. Do not be afraid to ask for more money, you never know till you try. Be honest with the school. I hope they can work something out for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
