CCA-B2

Not here.

Thanks!

How long will it take for you to get paid?

No package either.

Same here. No award package, yet.

Has anyone else received their award package? I still did not get one.

You should speak with your advisor about the possibility of doing a half-time assistantship to make up the difference.

Yes, I have not received the paperwork yet either.

Found out that they are processing them in batches. There are still many to go.

Thanks for the updates. I haven't received anything yet.

This means to go ahead and let them know. The deadline may be such for rule purposes. Just go ahead an let them know asap if you would like to defer.

Same thing happened to me. I was concerned that no final notification was sent. If you all did not talk about this on here, I would not have logged back in to my account for it to generate the automatic email. I was concerned at first since I never received an email stating it was transmitted. Thank you all for commenting every time something new happens. It really does help for us all to navigate all of this paperwork.

I didn't get one of those either.

Same here, I just completed mine. I will double check it all tomorrow. I'm having a difficult time selecting a picture. Anyone with the same troubles?

EPA-F2013-STAR-B2: Air, Climate & Energy: Global Change (B2)

I got an email this morning also. Took me some time to celebrate over prayer and coffee and now I'm happy to report to all of you. Congrats to those who got favorable news! To those that did not, much apologies.

Lets keep our fingers crossed. Boy, I sure do hope for a positive outcome.

I am happy that peace is made. As we continue to wait for a response let's remain uplifted. For all we know, it could be the reverse or no award for anyone!~~~That's just my skepticism~~ So, who wants to bet that we'll be waiting longer than the end of April?

No, haven't heard anything regarding a decision being made. I was hoping that this would be the week they inform applicants, since they've had about 2 weeks since the poll was due.

The govt in DC is closed today because of snow. Maybe we'll hear something tomorrow.

That's what I was told, when I contacted by phone about a month ago.

If they keep the awards at 80, everyone that is left has about a 50% chance of getting the award. I was told a few weeks ago, that there were about 160 applicants that made it to the internal review. Now, since the budget plays a huge role, I don't know what the new probability could be. It could be higher, given some individuals have matriculated out of the award or are no longer in school, or it could be lower, given the budget restricts funding.

Thanks for the update.

I doubt that there's more than 80, we haven't had 80 ppl comment on here. And, I don't know of anyone that hasn't heard back from EPA already from my school. If there are about 80 ppl left then everyone should get an award, because in 2012 they had 87 awardees. Lets think positively. Cassowary, I'll still be in my graduate program.

Thanks for the updates! All of this looks very promising. Now, only if we knew whether everyone that's left are those that are guaranteed an award. I believe that this may be so… Or, it may just me by wishful thinking. Good Luck to All!
