I'm still waiting for my official offer but from what I have seen, it seems that all the funding packages that were sent out so far include TA positions!
thebigcheese Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 http://portal.publicpolicy.utoronto.ca/EN/MPPMPAPROGRAMS/TORONTOMUNK/Pages/default.aspx (Altas of Public Policy and Management) I just came across this website, but I thought it may be helpful for some who are comparing different schools and programs It looks like they have profiles for Munk, NPSIA, etc.

So far I've been accepted to BSIA's Global Governance program with full funding and a fellowship at CIGI, UVic's MPA with at least $15,000 in funding (maybe more), and SFU's MPP program with $10,000 in funding. I'm hoping to hear back from U of T's MPP program shortly. I also submitted a late application to NPSIA a few days after the deadline, so I may still get accepted but I highly doubt I would receive any funding. I have a strong interest in foreign policy but I have no desire to become an academic. I'm looking for a degree that will give me the best possible chance at finding a solid job in government, an NGO, or the private sector. Of these five programs, which would you recommend?? I know that NPSIA is typically seen as the best choice, but BSIA's offer of a research fellowship with CIGI plus an internship seems pretty strong in terms of professional development opportunities. Thoughts?? Hey, when did you hear from UVic? I thought that I should've heard from them ages ago

I got an RA offer for Year 1 and a TA offer for Years 1 and 2, although I think the TA offers are 1/2 time for each of the 4 terms. I don't know how it works in practice - does anyone else? Ie. Do we get to decide for which courses we are TA? Are we RA for a specific prof or for several profs? Do we have any say in who that is?
Duplified Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 Good luck today, and this week, everyone! bambing 1

Nothing from GSPIA either - they're taking their sweet time over there considering I was in the "last stage of the offer process" two weeks ago lol

Worked for one of my friends last year. If that school sent out their offers on Feb they'll understand.
Hopeful2017 Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 This wait is killing me! It's getting hard to focus on other things when you're awaiting offers. We will all have some big decisions to make! nnsml 1
Kaspara Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 For those of you who applied, did Carleton let you know about OGS around the same time as your NPSIA offers, or is it still forthcoming?
Hopeful2017 Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 GSPIA told me that they will have all the finalized offers by early this week.

I received my notification of OGS funding a week before being contacted by NPSIA with an offer. I would contact the Awards office to check the status of your application!

I'm more worried about not getting OGS for Munk, because of the ridiculously high tuition...
