My stomach didn't have time to drop. My FPA forwarded the email to me. I made an email address with yahoo, but I got the "recommended" email with my University email address. So I got the news right after lunch, and he changed the title to "congratulations." Excited.. I MUST get a passport now.
It's on the website under your specific country. I know that there is at least a range between two months or on a specific month. Spain's is between Sept - Oct 2013. So there's flexibility. I may choose October just to draws things to a close with research, etc.
Cool! I applied to Spain for a full grant as well. We should know this month... even if Spain is a little late this month, we should still find out in April. Last year, notifications were sent on April 15th.
Where is Spain did you apply to conduct your research? I found a great research group in Barcelona.
The reason I ask is because I keep getting mixed responses from IIE from the same person: "I would expect early next week or by the end of April: hopefully: " The IIE really has no idea. They only receive notification from the Dept. of State after the grantees have been selected. IIE (before the grantee) is the last to know.
