    I'm officially shameless and have no qualms with calling. Just checked, they aren't working on Spain and it probably won't be today since they haven't heard decisions from the country yet.

    What number do you call/what do you say? Asking for a friend ;)

    thanks Horb!

    Sooo.. I've already been contacted by my host country and their research allowance is laughable. Does anyone know of any scholarships or grants that I could apply for to supplement the Fulbright funding? Research area is related to endangered plant conservation, specifically mosses. Any advice would really be appreciated.

    Oh no...so sorry to hear this. I'll keep my eyes and ears peeled as I continue to scour profellow.com etc. for opportunities. I think you can respond to Fulbright and request more funds. That's worth a try, right?

     

    edit: Assuming you didn't apply at-large, would your home institution potentially help with costs? Again, I think it's worth asking. Lord knows we don't get anything we don't ask for in research universities.

    Anyone on this thread waiting on announcements for Turkey ? 

    I'm not waiting on Turkey, but I lived in Kadikoy, Istanbul this past summer and it was such a wonderful experience. The Turks have an exceptional sense of hospitality and, the food, omg! Sending you positive energy for your award.

    Unless there's some sort of delay due to the weather, I imagine the office must be open by now. Fingers crossed we don't have to wait until the afternoon to see new notifications. 

    I assume they will send notices beginning at 10/10:30am.

    What if they already have all the results but they withhold on purpose to see all our reactions on forums like this? 

    I think they're holding out Ireland until Friday so whoever wins gets the luck of the Irish (rightfully so) and the rest of us will scorn Saint Patrick's day for the rest of our lives...or until we reapply next year :blink:

    Research. I just cannot believe they gave a Fulbright to a rural 39 year old with kids. It took me 10 years to finish my undergrad... guess I'll have to fake it and act like I belong...

    Thanks for the congrats everyone!

    Well-deserved! Get down witcha bad self! Congrats :)

    So basically unless the results come out in the next two or three hours, we're looking at a wait of three more days due to snow in NY, is that correct? Assuming the office hasn't already closed?

    Sounds like it. AHHHH WHY

    Slovak Republic just reported, according to my FPA.

    I also applied to Germany and am hoping we hear today, but not right before my class. I think I could hold off opening the email, but idk...

    It seems quite likely you could hear today. I wouldn't be able to hold off on opening the email.

    If Ireland comes in on Friday, as they have in the past, I've asked my advisor (who I'm very close to) to confiscate my phone as we'll be in a group critique of my thesis exhibition.

    ETA Finalist for Czech Republic here too! WOO! Just a heads up everyone - I received 2 emails! The first one was with the subject line "Congratulations On Your Fulbright U.S. Student Award" and the next one was "Fulbright Application Status (P)." Not sure if this is the norm, but I know people have been curious about subject lines. 

    Good luck to everyone!! <3 

     

    CONGRATS! Wahooooo!

    Congrats to everyone so far! Meanwhile sitting over here just killing time.. 

    I've never been so antsy for a work week/Monday to come around. I think I'll put in a few more residency applications to pass the time...
