Announcing new faculty for 2015-16

Each year, SIPA welcomes new scholars, practitioners and researchers. Read More →

Reminders: Deadlines and Office Closures

I have two announcements for today:

(1.) This is a just a friendly reminder that the Fall 2016 Early-Action Deadline is today, November 2, 2015 at 11:59 p.m. EST. So get that application in before it’s too late. You’ll not only be eligible for SIPA’s merit-based aid, but you’ll have the added benefit of  knowing your admission decision two months sooner than anybody else! So finish your application while you’ve still got time.

(2.) The Office of Admissions & Financial Aid will be closed for Election Day, on Tuesday, November 3, 2015. We will reopen during normal business hours on Wednesday, November 4, 2015.

The Early-Action Deadline is almost here

You are someone who always wants to be the first to know things. You love deadlines. You like planning ahead. And you cannot wait to have a game plan for next year.

Some people would classify this mindset as a “Type A” personality. But if you ask me, it just means you’re a go-getter. Nothing is going to stop you from leading the pack and accomplishing your goals on your terms, and no one else’s.

If this sounds like you, then you should really submit your admission application to SIPA by the early-action deadline. Note that the Early-Action Deadline is almost here: November 2, 2015 at 11:59 p.m. Applicants who submit their application by then have the benefit of knowing their non-binding admission decision by early January 2016. They are also eligible for SIPA’s merit-based fellowships (the final fellowship deadline is January 5, 2016).

So what are you waiting for? Finish your application here.
