  1. Do you think there's still hope for Scholarship applicants? Does anyone with know if regional committees meet over one day or two? Did the emails all come on the same day in past years? Based on the spreadsheets from the last two years, only one scholarship applicant for Russian (what I applied for) received the award. I kind of wish I was in a smaller geographic category. Oh well.
  2. whaynes2, According to the forums from last year, each Boren applicant has a 15% chance of receiving the award. The applications are divided into world region committees who select 15% of their applications to go to the national committee. If you receive the budget email, your chances of definitely receiving it go up to 66%. That number doesn't include alternates who also have a good shot. I think alternates get notified in late May if someone ahead of them declines the award.
  3. Has anyone who applied to Russia received a budget email yet?
  4. Congrats danng and Taesan! Don't lose hope everyone, last year emails came as late as 9 or 10 o'clock at night. It really depends on when your regional committee meets.
  5. JustChill, I'm in the same boat. I only received the survey. My school has a campus representative though and I think she screened my application before I sent it. Your application was probably flawless. Applied for the Boren Scholarship to Irkutsk, Russia.
  6. I got the survey email today as well. I got nervous that this was the rejection email. It makes me feel better that no one has heard anything yet. Anyone heard anything today? Anyone know what day the Boren scholarship emails went out last year? Good luck everyone!
