I've received the paperwork from Diane Greene, but can't figure out what information is being requested for "Payee Information" at the bottom of page 1 of the Fellowship Agreement? Does this refer to me or the institution accepting payment? Is it asking for a name, physical address, email address, etc.? Does anyone know?

Really? Crap. Since it said to upload your official transcript, I followed those instructions... Didn't get an email about giving away the fellowship, but I did find the lack of a submit button (or clarification in the email) worrisome too.

One thing I've been a little unclear on is their wording on our current status. They've used terms such as "you are now eligible" or "you are now a finalist" or "you are being RECOMMENDED" to imply that we have not been granted the award yet, not until all the paperwork has gone through. I think this is a formality but am not completely sure... Does anyone know if it is it still possible to lose the award at this stage? Also, I'm assuming 2012 is a typo and putting all of my dates as 2014. They have begun editing some of the FII wording to say 2014.

Bah, that would be unfortunate. I don't really see why they need to cut it down to 2 years, especially because they aren't taking a 2014 application... sooo it's not like they are "overbooking" the amount of grad fellowships.

1) That's sad to hear that there's no 2014 conference . 2) I got an email from Brandon with the award notification first followed by an email with the same information from Andre Porter who I assume will be my main contact for questions regarding fund processing. 3) EPA-F2013-STAR-A3 Emerging Environmental Approaches & Challenges: Synthetic Biology for Environmental Purposes (A3)

Award notification email received! Congratulations to the new awardees as well -- We should all find each other at the EPA STAR Fellowship conference. It's been fun stalking the forums every week hah.

Asked Brandon that question and got the following response: The individual who would handle your tuiton and fee funding if you were to receive the fellowship. M. Brandon Jones, PhD I'm glad that SOMETHING is happening!!

I've been stalking this forum for a while but it's my first time commenting, so I'm sure the number is higher than the amount of people who comment on this forum regularly. But I do hope that we all get it. I'll still be in my program (PhD) Anyway, that's excellent news -- thanks for digging through all of information!
