Same. I did get a holiday card from Vali Nasr's office though. 

[marcoboy1818]

You will get the notification before 29 Dec. I think SAIS Europe released the result early this year. 

Anyone who is accepted from the early notification will automatically get half tuition fellowship. 

[Poli92]

Admitted. Waiting on aid email.

I received an email to check the portal.

I think the people who are admitted in the early notifications will automatically get half tuition fellowship says on their official blog.

Got the funding notification around 3:30 EST

[Leka8]

Also was admitted. My funding email only referred to 2018/2019 funding. No mention of year 2. Presumably it is not renewable? How bout you guys, any thoughts?

I don't know that the funding level is guaranteed, but anecdotally I think that if the student is in good standing the offer is renewed for the second year. 

[marcoboy1818]

Where did you guys see the funding notification??? Are you guys from SAIS Europe or DC? I’m admitted to Europe. 

[marcoboy1818]

Did you guys submit the separate application for the funding???? I only selected the box on the application form. Arent we suppose to receive the funding notification on March? 

[Leka8]

DC. I received an email from the financial aid office with some funding details. I was surprised, I wasn't expecting any news about $ until March.

No just the box. Apparently DC and Europe have independent budgets so they are probably just doing it differently.

got accepted in DC with funding for the first year. No mention of the second year. Didn't get IDEV though, and I'm primarily interested in IDEV courses, so I'll have to make some decisions...

Thank you so much for telling me.  I will wait and see! 

I am wondering cause their official blog says that people who are accepted will automatically get half tuition fellowship. 

[cathyzcy888]

Deferred to the regular decision pool... CONGRATS to all of you.

Just checked with the financial aid office and they confirmed that the funding is extended to the second year pending full-time status and 3.4 GPA. Wondering why they wouldn't include that in the funding letter; that could affect someone's decision to accept.
