$$$

Wharton awarded me $20,000 through a combination of a fellowship and a need-based grant. This means they met the 10% stipulated student contribution. Now I don't need to show any personal sources of funding as I have a guaranteed loan for the entire remaining amount :-). They've also mentioned that I could also get some corporate fellowship in addition to this.

My financial woes are fast-disappearing! I totally love this :D

Hi, I'm a late entrant here..I think. Congratulations on your W admit. Do you know if the need-based scholarship is generally being given to most admits from India? And is the $20k for one year or cumulative for two years? I guess I'll also have to start fishing for financial aid options once I get my packet.
