Good luck! I know we are technically in competition with each other, but I really hope you get it! Also, as you probably know, München is SUPER expensive. There are, however, ways to increase your living stipend (or so I've heard) if you can show how expensive your city is. So make sure to check that out when you win BECAUSE YOU WILL! I mean, having a completely new approach to research sounds like an amazing take on the grant.

AH, yes! I do know how expensive München is ! BUT that's news I was not aware of (potentially increasing the stipend!). Good to know! Thanks for spreading the knowledge!

This forum eases my anxiety so much, knowing that I'm not the only one anxious over this process and waiting period. I applied for a research grant in Munich, Germany.

This is my first time applying for Fulbright. It was a bit of an ad hoc application, started in late summer, but I grew very attached to it. I think the most challenging part for me was switching from my practitioner mindset to a research mindset (I'm in a less research heavy graduate program). One of my evaluators during my campus evaluation really concerned me on my chances of winning over "researchers" who are evaluating my project. He pushed back a lot on having a practitioner background and going into research...

I've looked at the dates for semi-finalist selection over the last few years, and there is a good chance I'll actually be in Munich when I get the email. Hoping that brings me some good luck...

Exciting times, guys! Good luck to everyone.

No funding either.

 

Man, did anyone receive funding?
