Question about federal grants and grad funding
The program I was admitted to starts this May and offers students two scholarship opportunities via a federal grant the school was awarded in 2022. Our essays/applications for these funding opportunities were due a couple of weeks ago, and we were told we'd hear back very soon, but no one in my cohort has been notified of any funding or scholarship.
I'm concerned that this grant may not exist anymore because of the freezes and cuts and everything else we've read about on the news. I want to email my program director and see what's up, but I don't want to be annoying because many people have probably been asking, and I feel like the answer is just going to be "we're uncertain etc." but I am quite nervous because tuition will be due soon.
I know politically things are insane with the department of education right now. I guess I'm wondering if the grant that was awarded to the school years ago is safe for that reason, or if I ought to be worried.
