I'm sorry. When the initial hurt and disappointment subside, I hope you'll keep in mind that being an alternate means you are totally Fulbright-worthy. It's probably an issue of matching people to opportunities, but you are Fulbright-caliber. OptimiscallyAnxious 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have a couple other scholarships to look forward to and I'm grateful that I went through this process again. The self-discovery and essay writing has been a positive (if sometimes frustrating) process. At least I can say that I tried again and I can never regret that I tried!

If you have the opportunity to try applying again, I highly recommend it You may not get a better result the second time but you'll never know if you don't try. Best of luck to you!

McGhee Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 NS as well. I'm not surprised, esp since I didn't interview and UCL hasn't awarded for anything other than STEM or global policy in the last 10+ years. Plus, my topic may have been too sensitive for the UK: examining how Britain utilized art to create an enemy other in order to distance it's royal lineage from Germany and legitimize its WWI campaign. Best of luck to everyone else and CONGRATS to all the awardees!! I'm rooting for all of you :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eloise94 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 @maelia8 @Horb @Herbie I am going to Germany (Berlin) for research as well! First post here - I've been lurking for a while and this seems like such a great community. What are your research/study plans? CONGRATS (and sending good vibes to all those with (A) status!)

I'm trying to remember how it all worked back then in 2012 ... pretty sure it was all electronic by then.

maelia8 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 @eloise94 Welcome to GC! I'll be using the Geheime Staatarchiv Preußischer Kulturbesitz and the Bundesarchiv primarily, and plan to be in Berlin most of the time (thanks Prussia for centralizing everything in the 19th century!).

inkstainedarm Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 (edited) @medievalist86 and @McGhee Thank you!! I'm so beyond excited to study at UEA! I just wish more of us had been accepted. @medievalist86 and @Dilemma1, sending you all the good vibes and good fortune and hoping you get bumped up (or, barring that, that you win your other scholarships)! I'm so grateful for how wonderfully supportive all of you on this forum have been, and I hope that if this year isn't your year, next year will be!

caeiro Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 (edited) Hi all — just got the green light from FB. There was nothing in the email about grant amounts or accepting the award. Do I need to submit the required documents first? That can't be right... Will all be revealed with additional emails in a few hours? Yours, AM EDIT: To put it more simply, Do I have to accept the award before I know its terms? I mostly want to know how long I have to make a decision. Thanks, as always, for your help!
