The Josef Korbel School of International Studies at the University of Denver

[newdisplayname]

So, I´ve just checked the website and there are two buttons at the bottom: "Accept offer of admission" and "Decline offer of admission". Does that mean I´m in?

Seems like it.

I had those two buttons as well.  I clicked accept just to see what happens and it said "your decision has been saved, please confirm by sending your financial info"...woops.

Those of you admitted, which program did you apply to?

[newdisplayname]

Intl development, but Im most probaby going to reject the offer.

I applied to International Studies but at this point its probably whoever gives me the most money unless I somehow get in to SIPA.

Global Finance, Trade, and Economic Integration. But I won't most likely go there even though they have been great and gave me a really great fellowship. If I opt for the money, AU has given me a great fellowship as well and since the programs are the same quality, the location makes all the difference in favor of AU.

A question for current Korbel students:

With the cost of 2-year tuition being roughly $70k, and the best scholarship available being up to $30k for the same time period, how does the Korbel body deal with the rest of their tuition expenses?

 

• Are there other scholarships from UDenver that I'm not seeing?
• Outside scholarships/fellowships/aid?
• Good ol' loans?
• Work? And is working the first year discouraged or is it feasible?
• Is panhandling allowed on street corners in Denver? Can I make a fair amount doing that?

Hey sorry if this is going back to something that was addressed a while ago but I'm not sure there was much posted on this. I know they say that scholarships are only up to 15k a year somewhere on the website but they do sometimes offer more than this.

http://www.du.edu/korbel/sie/fellows/. I believe that's the only way to get a full scholarship at Korbel.

Hi All! Did anyone on this thread interview for the Sie Fellowship? Any insight/tips/etc. would be greatly appreciated!

Anyone have any guesses on when we'll start hearing from Korbel? Last year it was Feb 26ish when decisions started rolling in...

Has anyone who applied to the Masters in Conflict Resolution heard back yet? All these other programs hearing their news is making me nervous!

Do they do admission to CR on a different timeline?

I know they do their financial aid differently, but I'm not sure about the admission timeline.

So you haven't heard back from them? I received my admission notification on Friday. Maybe it's a separate admissions process?

No I haven't heard back yet, so I'm hoping its just a separate admissions process!

Can anyone who has been accepted (past or present) comment on endowed scholarships? Are they offered at the time of acceptance (along with merit aid) or are they doled out separately, with other financial aid info (loans, work study, etc.)?

Hi! I'm currently deciding between the International Studies program and programs at Georgetown and IHEID. For those of you who ended up going, what are some of the strengths and weaknesses of the program? Also, did you guys get funding/what are prospects for funding for your second year?

Thanks in advance:)
