Besides scholarships, I'm wondering: how exactly do student loans work for international students?

I am sorry, but I could not understand where can I find the applications restricted by nationality that you have said are in specific websites, and not in the HKS financial aid application. Can you please calrify it?
Hayoung Woo
09:15:27 AM
Would my resume & essays for HKS be visible to the fellowship admissions as well? I am wondering if I shouldn’t write the same experiences written in my HKS essays, because if the scholarships& fellowships admissions have access to them I don’t want them to be reading the same experiences over again.
Sam Sloman
09:15:38 AM
So to clarify, if there is no essay requirement stated, we should still submit an essay about why we should be awarded the fellowship? Thanks, Sam
