How to approach asking about funding

[dayeachu]

Hello,

I got accepted into a masters program that is normally not funded. However, I was emailed by the department saying that they have recommended me to receive some fellowship money, but that they do not handle that decision in their department. The email goes on to say that if I do receive any money, I will be contacted "very soon" directly by the college. It has been a week and a half since this email. Would it be rude to contact someone about any updates, or does a week and a half seem like "very soon" passed?

1.5 weeks isn't much time for something like a funding decision. I would wait at least another week.

At the same time, a week and a half is long enough so that an innocent question on the situation would not be rude.
