I was an alternate - I believe the email said that they would only inform alternates if they moved up the list. Here's the wording: "We expect to make such decisions approximately one month from now ... If we do not contact you again, unfortunately we are unable to offer you a fellowship this year." They say that once the award list is finalized, they will post the press release on their website. If it is a no, then I will find out when they post the final list!
