Here's a Facebook group for Fulbrighters headed to SSA!: https://www.facebook.com/groups/846178545470446/

I can go ahead and make a Fulbright SSA group! Only thing is that Facebook requires you to add at least one friend to the group before you create it - so if anyone wants to look me up on Facebook and add me, that'd be cool. Search for me under: Chineze Okpalaoka!

Same! Looking forward to meeting you all. Has anyone made a Fulbright SSA Facebook page or anything of the sort, or am I just getting ahead of myself? Lol.

Jrk2115: I'm a (P) for an ETA to South Africa and I haven't received the grant authorization document yet!

I received my orientation save the date for Sub-Saharan Africa on 4/3/15 and my notification about my application status on 4/13/15...so ten days apart. But I'm guessing that's no indication for the other regions. Hang in there!

Hi nsnotable! I only found out about my acceptance on Monday so I'll keep an eye out for the follow up e-mails lol. Thanks!

Perhaps this question has already been asked and answered (if so, my apologies), but where can I find the Grant Authorization Document? It says IIE will send it to me. Is that via e-mail or in the official letter/package they say they will send to my permanent address? Thank you!

Selected for an ETA to South Africa!! Found out around 6:30pm today. I'm still in disbelief, but I am so grateful. Best of luck to everyone else waiting to hear back!

Weeee it make me happy to know people are at least hearing back even if I haven't heard anything yet! Congratulations all of you! And best wishes to the rest of us still glued to our e-mail accounts lol.

Hi everyone! I'm a Fulbright finalist for South Africa's ETA program and I found this forum just in time to give me even more anxiety about the waiting process! Yay! Lol. I think this is a neat community, and so I just wanted to introduce myself, see if there are any other SA ETA applicants out there, and of course congratulate those who have been accepted! P.S. - I'm pretty sure I check my inbox, sent mail, spam box, trash, etc. at least 39,000 times a day and it is becoming a slight problem lol. Anybody else?
