    Thanks!!! For posterity, just thought I'd note, I just checked my portal and it still says "selection made". So that hasn't changed.

    This is a notice that comes up on the portal now: "The Portal will be under construction and not available for users between 8 am and 8.30 am on the 1th of April 2015. Please ensure that all your data is saved online or stored on your computer prior to this date. We appreciate your patience and cooperation! To compensate for technical problems in the past couple of days the application deadline for personal funding applications which ends on March 31st will be extended to April 2nd." I'm wondering if maybe the technical problems have caused some overall delays in workflow?

    jdawg12, did you call Bonn or North America? because if Bonn said "end of March or beginning of April" that doesn't bode well for us hearing by tomorrow...since if they were gonna release the results so soon they'd probably know more specifically.. unless they're just trying to torture us ahahaha.

    After applying I got this email from someone at DAAD New York: "We would like to let you know that your application has been processed. You can expect to be notified by our head office in Bonn about the result either at the end of March or the beginning of April, 2015." So it would seem we're supposed to hear from DAAD Bonn? Although I suppose that doesn't mean they couldn't spontaneously change it...

    I'm in Berlin this year. Yeah, technically I'm safe, and even by the time the DAAD grant starts, I won't have been in Germany for 15 consecutive months at any point in time (I emailed them before I applied and they confirmed it was about consecutive months). I just dunno if they'll look at it and say, "Hmm, two grants to Germany in a row...let's give someone else a shot." Haha. Oh well, guess I can't complain if that were a deciding factor...I'm pretty lucky! But I know that if I hadn't had all this time to learn about life in Germany I wouldn't have developed my research goals that I wanna pursue through DAAD... So you're gonna be at the Hertie School of Governance next year even despite not getting the grant? That's pretty awesome. I have a friend in Berlin now who is starting that program next year too (also without funding). Good luck and hope it's a great experience!

    Hey guys, I've been lurking for a while. I'm a 2nd year English Teaching Assistant in Germany and really hoping to get DAAD funding for an MA in Linguistics starting this fall. I felt good about my application, except that I'm now on my second year in Germany, and I wonder if that will affect their decision negatively... Anyways, I saw your comments about how the "Funding programme" section got more detailed yesterday for some of you. I was wondering if maybe it did that just for the people applying for doctoral programs? Because I noticed that a couple of you for whom it changed are applying for that...No change in mine and I am applying for an MA. For the people whose thing didn't change, are you also applying for MAs? Maybe that's the reason. Also, to Caelryck, sorry you didn't make it this time! I was wondering, are those numbers just for the Australian grants or are those the total Study Scholarship grants? Not really sure how it works from country to country. They are separate processes right so that's probably the number of Australian grants...? Hope we hear soon...this wait is seriously killing me!!!!
  9. Sure why not! Go ahead and join. I'm the admin for the group. If you want to post about that in the group, that'll remind me to change the group description next time I log in. Incidentally do you know how many full grants there are to Germany this year?
  10. Yay thanks for making this! Just sent my request to the general group!
  11. there'sanappforthat, are you on the Fulbright ETA Germany 2013-2014 Facebook group yet?! And I agree with whoever it was that suggested we make a general Fulbright 2013-2014 group! It would be great to stay in touch and compare notes, read each other's blogs, etc.
  12. Congrats!!! Haha, love your username. Do you study philosophy? Also don't forget to join our Facebook group if you haven't already! It's in my signature.
  13. Join the Facebook: https://www.facebook...20601604797989/ And then add it to your signature too!
  14. We have one! Join here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/120601604797989/ If all Fulbright ETA Germany folks could add this in their signature that will help more people find it!
