研究生接受奖学金录取的“4.15协议”
研究生接受奖学金录取的“4.15协议”

随着申请美国研究生录取的放榜，不少拿到入学录取（offer of admission）的学生已在考虑选择接受哪个学校，什么时候答复。很多人知道“4.15协议”，但并不真正了解“4.15协议”的具体内容和规定。
“4.15协议”就是为研究生接受财政资助（奖学金）offer而制定的。这个“4.15协议”跟本科生接受offer的要求不同，不要混淆起来；而且，“4.15协议”也不适用于接受没有奖学金的纯录取offer。
注意：This Resolution applies to offers of financial support only, not offers of admission.
什么是“4.15协议”？这是美国研究生院理事会（Council of Graduate Schools）制定的一个研究生答复奖学金录取的协议（见图）。
要点：
1. 本协议适用于接受财政资助（奖学金）的答复时间。除非特殊情况，一般要在4月15日或者之前作出正式答复（学校提供的表格，书面书信答复，或者Email答复；采用哪一种要根据学校/系/研究生院要求或者询问）。在4.15之前的答复可以不算数，但4.15之后要受限制：
1a. 对于在4.15之前做出答复的学校，学生可以在4.15之前任何时候写信反悔，取消接受offer的“承诺”。这个条款可以对付那些要求学生早答应offer的学校。在4.15之前先答应下来，如果有更好的offer，再写信反悔而不影响自己的“信用”（credit）。
1b. 在4.15决定之后，如果要反悔而去接受别的学校的offer，必须先获得之前接受offer的学校的书面豁免（written release）才能接受别的offer。如果不遵守这个协议，是否可以？原则上，这个协议没有法律意义上的效力，而是一种自觉遵守的信用制度。你可以不遵守，而去接受后来的offer，再据掉之前答应的offer，但是这样做的坏处是会影响到后来者的机会。因此，不建议你采取这种害人利己的做法。
2. 没有奖学金的研究生录取offer怎么办？既然没有统一协议，那么建议可以先答应接受offer，之后，如果有更好的offer，那么可以据掉之前答应的offer而接受后来的offer。但是，如果接受offer的同时要求交部分抵押金（deposit），再接受别的offer会意味着丧失所交的deposit，所以要权衡利弊，谨慎对待offer的选择和决定。
以上只是比较笼统的解释说明，不能替代学生和学校之间来往信息的具体要求和规定。如果学校有具体的要求和规定，在不与"4.15协议"相违背的情况下，以学校的为准。

Resolution Regarding Graduate Scholars, Fellows, Trainees and Assistants
Acceptance of an offer of financial support *(such as a graduate scholarship, fellowship, traineeship, or assistantship) for the next academic year by a prospective or enrolled graduate student completes an agreement that both student and graduate school expect to honor. In that context, the conditions affecting such offers and their acceptance must be defined carefully and understood by all parties.
Students are under no obligation to respond to offers of financial support prior to April 15; earlier deadlines for acceptance of such offers violate the intent of this Resolution. In those instances in which a student accepts an offer before April 15, and subsequently desires to withdraw that acceptance, the student may submit in writing a resignation of the appointment at any time through April 15. However, an acceptance given or left in force after April 15 commits the student not to accept another offer without first obtaining a written release from the institution to which a commitment has been made. Similarly, an offer by an institution after April 15 is conditional on presentation by the student of the written release from any previously accepted offer. It is further agreed by the institutions and organizations subscribing to the above Resolution that a copy of this Resolution or a link to the URL should accompany every scholarship, fellowship, traineeship, and assistantship offer.
The following list includes CGS member institutions that indicated their support of the Resolution.
This Resolution was renewed October 2009.
