I haven't been contacted yet. I'm keen on receiving a scholarship from GW. There aren't many, though.

Haven't recieved any information on scholarships. Did your acceptance letter have a 'decision deadline'?

I did not see any date that I would have to accept their offer by, but do not want it to lapse. Do you know if there is a date?

the date in my letter is April 21, but they seem to say you can say yes or not after you have been aware of the schol. decision.

i'm from National Law School in India.

Thx. For 2 years in a row the B scholarship went to my colleagues from Jagiellonian University (Poland), so I was wondering if this is the case this time as well...
Congrats!
