Poast new message in this thread
Date: March 31st, 2009 12:14 PM Author: Maize nursing home Subject: Scholarship Decisions for MC/MPA @ HKS Hi, I have just received an admission from MC/MPA at the Kennedy School. What % of students get a scholarship? And when are scholarship decisions made / communicated to students? Any counsel much appreciated. Thanks |
Date: March 31st, 2009 10:00 PM Author: vibrant pisswyrm meetinghouse April 3rd. I'm an MPA/MC admit as well; I applied for two fellowships. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=964648&forum_id=3#11298768) |

Do you have a sense of when the first fee instalment is due? Is this due after the scholarship decisions are made? The HKS website wasn't clear.

Date: April 2nd, 2009 1:55 PM Author: Scarlet odious pit philosopher-king Subject: MC/MPA Hi All,
Just curious - I am a domestic student who has applied to the MC/MPA @ HKS. Is it likely that Mason Fellows have found out their admit decisions and that it will be more likely mid-April for domestic/non-Mason applications?
Almost had a heart attack until I started reading through the thread! Also, Waka, how did you make the case for deferment and do they look on that. I have several critical things that I am working on my community and I am gett8ng a lot of pressure if I AM admitted to defer and make sure everything here is in order!
Thoughts appreciated. Thanks! |

Date: April 2nd, 2009 4:16 PM Author: Maize nursing home I think the Masons are communicated earlier than the domestic students. The program starts a month early, Masons have to get visas sorted, etc.
Waka, I am also interested in understanding how you managed to get a deferral. I might have to consider a deferral for personal reasons. Your thoughts much appreciated. Thanks |

Date: April 2nd, 2009 4:30 PM Author: Scarlet odious pit philosopher-king Thanks gdab; that's what I figured. Who did you consult with? I am a former Accenture employee (government practise) from New Zealand now based in the US. Interested in your motivation to examine public sector issues.

Working with governments and public sector clients got me interested in pursuing this line. |

Date: April 2nd, 2009 9:25 PM Author: vibrant pisswyrm meetinghouse Deferrals are decided on a case-by-case basis. Once you have been admitted, email HKS at appstatus@hks.harvard.edu and tell them why you want a deferral (also log-on to the HKS portal where you filled-out your financial aid info and decline admission). You will be asked to mail a seat deposit of $750. If they accept your deferral request, they keep the deposit and it will be applied to next year's tuition.

Date: April 6th, 2009 2:21 PM Author: Scarlet odious pit philosopher-king Thanks Waka. I don't know how anyone else feels about this, but the MC/MPA timeframe seems brutal. There isn't much time between finding out about the program and the finances required before actually starting. It's complicated when I throw in relocating family, finding daycare etc etc. Oh well.
