ZebraFinch Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 Another non-funding email from GW. I'm really disappointed with this school. They know our decisions depend on funding, and yet have taken a very luxurious amount of time on saying anything regarding funding. At this rate I don't think I will be attending even if they gave me a fully funded offer. I went to an undergrad that was slow with everything and I don't wish to repeat the experience.
Kathleen517 Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 I was admitted last Friday for European and Eurasian Studies. Â No word on funding for me either. Â Does GW typically give funding? Â I haven't heard of anyone that has received any.

The most I heard of anyone receiving last year was $20K a year (which would still be amazing). Can't believe we haven't heard yet though...
Kathleen517 Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 Thanks for the info! One person who posted in the results section a few years ago said that he/she received an email a week later about funding, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I will hear today or Monday.

keeperofkiwis Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 It would be great if we didn't have to wait over another weekend to hear about funding... Also, did anyone else apply for the Wolcott Fellowship this year? Any idea when we should expect the results?

manutdftw Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 (edited) Yah I applied for Wolcott too. Also, I called them yesterday at 4pm and they said funding decisions will be released within 1-2 days. I asked them if it would be by the end of business day today but she said she wasn't sure. So we might have to wait till Saturday or even Monday since she might have meant business days.

MKrys Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 Maybe we'll get the emails later tonight? My acceptance decision came in about 9pm eastern time. I was surprised that they send out emails after business hours so maybe it'll happen the same way for the financial aid email. Here's hoping anyway.Â

Every time I see a new post on this thread I get nervous that other people found out about funding and I didn't.... Eek!!
kasbah Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 What if, by pure coincidence, no one on gradcafe got funding, and that's why we haven't been sent anything? ZebraFinch and Solio 2

coffeeandtravel Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 So, are we assuming that funding information is not coming till next week now?

It frustrates me that we've done our part getting everything in by the deadline and they can't get this information to us in a timely manner.Â
ESIAGradStudentSPS16-18 Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 The big question ... Will we find out today? Â I'm very anxiously waiting for that letter to come. Â Good luck! Solio 1
zebrasareamazing Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 I'm really hoping we hear about funding today, I got another non funding email this morning and felt like this.

coffeeandtravel Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 And another day goes by of not knowing...
