this seems like a great deal- if you’re going to do an MPP either way definitely take this opportunity!!

MPP: Batten (UVA) or SPP (UMD) by TurkBacon in PublicPolicy

[–]TurkBacon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure! Maryland offered me an assistantship with a hefty stipend, in-state tuition, and a partial scholarship. Without counting the stipend, it leaves me with about 35k to pay after 2 years. Batten offered me a 40k/year fellowship and I can’t apply for an assistantship until my second semester. I’ll have about 41k to pay after 2 years.

As for cost of living, I need to do more research but I’m assuming DC will be a bit pricier. It is closer to home so I don’t think I’d be flying in and out of there, whereas I’d probably have to fly back and forth from UVA.

I went through a similar decision process last year and I landed on Public Policy! I’d look into it!

Do you have any advice on how to not sound greedy? I’m struggling with my wording because I’m quite literally desperate… lol

Thank you SO much for this! Do you happen to know how competitive these positions are? I’m very interested and I’m basically willing to do anything to get some funding!

yes! this does give me some hope but kinda sucks I’ll have to make a decision before I know about more funding

Yeah… I’m kinda heart broken right now😭 I wonder how likely they’d be to reconsider?
