I got a Boren Fellowship!!! OMG!!!

I totally get you. It is probably wishful thinking to know anything today...so I guess next week, we will be taking it day by day. I know everyone is anxious but I imagine that those who are going to AFLI are particularly anxious as many will have to make plans to be in Gainesville by the beginning of June. Hang in there everyone.

I got that email...the second one about the updated money for AFLI (last Wednesday, I think it was...)

They are saying notifications will be at the end of this month. Last year, for fellowships at least, they came around the 18th...no idea what they will do this year.

There are differences between the scholarships and the fellowships. Scholarship applicants seem to get the formalized budget email. In the recent past, fellowship applicants didn't get such a formalized email.

jiroc, I applied for Zulu.

I believe I got those too. I didn't think about those as I'm a UF student. I even got that one about setting up the UF Gator account and then not two minutes later telling me to ignore that since I already had a UFID. I still think anything is possible and these emails certainly keep us guessing and hopeful and I'm sure relatively anxious. The end is near...patience, right?

LimaBeans, My particular email was for the UF Summer AFLI program. My proposal was for an African language. Hope this helps. I don't know about jroc.

Mine was directed to the Summer AFLI program at UF. I'm sure not everyone is doing that. But congrats on that email. =) What language are you applying for?

I got another email from Boren today regarding the domestic program at UF.....

Just learned that I got a Summer FLAS. This is great. Hopefully, the Boren will come through and replace it. One step forward...

Good luck to you MSC2014!

Excuse the typos...long day of reading on the computer!

I'm applying for the fellowship, so I received that "all fellowship applicants are receiving this email" a few weeks ago. Nothing really changed in my budget but I could be more flexible with my dates. So I sent an email expressing that I could extend my overseas dates. The following week, I received an email specifically asking me about my end date - stating that my original date (the on proposed in my application) wouldn't allow for me to leave the country while on the Boren but if I extending to the end of that month, there would be no problems. When I sent an update to the original email, I stated that I could extend to the end of the month...so I expressed that again in response to that personal email. Here's to hoping good things are on the horizon.

What AFLI program are you applying to?
