Does HKS offer any matching for the Americorps Segal education award?
Benjamin Seebaugh
12:16:19 PM
Do the readers of the financial aid applications also have the prospective student's HKS admissions application in hand? More specifically, would essay contents bear repeating where applicable, or would it behoove the applicant to provide only fresh content in their financial aid application?
Benjamin Seebaugh
12:21:57 PM
Is it disadvantageous to the applicant to wait to apply to the financial aid package until after an admissions decision has been made? (I.e., are the financial aid award decisions made on a rolling basis, or in a batch after the application deadline?)
Olivia Whalen
12:22:34 PM
