I haven’t begun graduate school yet, but I plan to pursue a joint degree or two separate graduate degrees. I have received full institutional funding for one graduate degree; am I still eligible for Cooke support for the second degree? If so, when do I apply?

You must apply to the Cooke Graduate Scholarship before beginning your first graduate degree program, but the award can then be used for only the second degree if that is how you wish to allocate your Cooke funds. For example, if you plan to pursue an M.P.P. followed by a J.D., you must apply before beginning your M.P.P. program, but you can still use the Graduate Scholarship for the J.D. program only if you wish.
