maripsv Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Hi guys! I applied to SAIS Bologna Early Notification and just got my letter of admittance today. I am still in shock, because although it is my dream school, I had never thought I would get in (come directly from undergrad, speak 3 languages, from a mediocre school, have an average GPA, but 3 yrs of work experience - not in IR, but Wealth Management). Hadn’t applied for financial aid yet, but also received €20k on tuition in the first year and $12k for the second year. Now I’m going crazy looking for financial aid everywhere, but I’m from Brazil so I don’t really fit into the US citizenship eligibility and my campus isn’t even in the US. So I ask two things: 1) Does anyone know any fellowships I can apply to? (Have exhausted SAIS’ lists) 2) Is it worth it to get a student loan? I already owe 10,000€ from undergrad and SAIS is reallllly expensive. I come from a poor family really (my dad is an Uber driver and my mom is unemployed), therefore I have literally zero money to pay for anything, not even living costs. SAIS estimates are spendings of 55,000€ per academic year (so, with my scholarship, I’d still need 25,000€, not to mention the second year). Is it THAT easy to find a good job after SAIS that can pay for this expensive education? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcoboy1818 Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 where did you see the funding notification? Are they suppose to send the funding decision on March???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maripsvv Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Hi marcoboy1818 decisions on financial aid are supposed to come in March, yes, but I think they send it earlier for the Early Notification pool. I don’t know if anyone else received any other news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
