Attention India Fulbrighers! Join our Facebook page! We are under Fulbright-Nehru 2014-2015.

I'm sorry to hear you didn't get it. I hope you apply again next year.

Thanks SmarteyMartey!!!!!!!!!!! Good luck with everyone!

Thanks Hina! Crossing my fingers you get it!

Congrats! See you in India! (Same here, no notification in the subject line)

Thank you!!!!!!

I got it! I can't even type I'm so excited.

Hi india_applicant: I understand your situation completely. I can't think of anything else. USIEF informed another applicant that they should go out by the end of this week. Are you an ETA or Research?

Hope India comes through soon.

Attention applicants to India! I just got word from another applicant that emailed USIEF that they plan on notifying us by the end of NEXT week. Hoping each of us receives good news.Good luck to all Fulbright applicants!

Thanks sirskipsalot!

Hi JacquiC! Interesting grant proposal. Wishing you and the other India applicants the best. Someone from another forum said they emailed USIEF about the notifications and will let me know. I'll be sure to pass on any insights she might receive to all of you. ~John

Glad to hear from other India applicants. I'm hoping to conduct research on the history of African American Jazz musicians that moved to India in the 1920s-1940s to escape segregation in the USA, as well as the impact of the US State Dept jazz tours to India during the Cold War of 1950s and 60s.

I hear you. I've been restless for far too long now. I just hope we hear before grad school deadlines. Are you an ETA or Research?

Are you an India applicant as well? I realy hope we hear something soon. Last year they notified the finalist on March 19th.

Congratulations!

On March 19 of last year the notifications for India went out. I'm crossing my fingers that the notices are sent today. Anyone else applying to India?

Thank you! I'm feeling much better now. Good luck today.

After the worst week of my life--nearly dying from a stroke from a bad reaction to a new medication and breaking up with my girlfriend the following day--it would be nice to receive some good news from Fulbright today. Encouraged by a close Hindu friend, I made an offering to Ganesha, the remover of obstacles. In the place of a proper statue, I downloaded a wallpaper image of Ganesha to my cellphone, placing it in the middle of the my coffee table turned makeshift altar. I lighted two candles and three sticks of incense. Before proceeding to chant a mantra in a language that I barely understand and to a god that I do not believe in, I placed a banana on my Fulbright folder, and kindly asked Ganesha or whatever universal being that might or might not exist to remove the obstacles in my life. I felt less anxious, but that was probably due to the 10 mg of Ambien in my system. After a hot bath and a head shaving, we are heading to the local Hindu temple for a morning puja. Although I rarely contributed to this forum, reading it brought me a sense of relief, knowing that I wasn't alone in this (you would think I was describing a shared horrific experience or a substance abuse addiction). I can tell from the posts that all worked hard for the Fulbright. I will make an offering for all of us this morning. Good luck to all, John Langdon

I heard of something similar from someone that received the Fulbright last year. It's so confusing and esoteric.

That's a great topic! I studied history and gender studies. I hope to research the history of African American jazz musicians that fled racism at home in the 1920s-1950s and moved to India. I hope to study their involvement in the Indian independence movement as well as the role of jazz as diplomacy in India during the Cold War.

Good to see another applicant to India. Good news, they increased the number of grants to India from 50 to 80 this year. What's your research area?

I wasn't anxious about the deadline until I found this forum. Now I can't sleep. Anyone here applying to India?
