Congrats guys!! That's awesome

Hi SazeracScholar I'm in the same boat as you. Got a rejection from DAAD, and therefore, am not as hopeful as before regarding the Fulbright. I even discussed this already with my FPA and contact abroad and both are willing to continue to support me thru the re-application process. (I won't be dissuaded that easily!) But you're right-- we have the campus interview and other aspects that hit on the Fulbright mission that are not required for the DAAD, which makes our Fulbright application as a whole different from the DAAD. So i'm going to hold onto hope for us, and for any others that are in a similar situation. And good luck to everyone!! This forum has been so helpful throughout the entire process (application, interview, waiting, stressing...and more waiting). Just wanted to give a thanks to y'all

Good luck to everyone else still waiting-- I know this is nerve wrecking.

I applied for the DAAD research grant.

I know! Which is really bizarre since it was posted on their fb page. Totally misleading. Thanks. It is heartbreaking...but now I can move on and prep for plan B I got the email an hour ago at 11:55a

Yes, sadly I received that email too (and did have the 'selection made' status)... bummer

Oh no! Sorry to hear that lalakey. Don't worry-- Fulbright will do you good! Stay hopeful. Were you informed via email? I still haven't heard...

Hi! I've applied for a research scholarship and am trying my hardest to wait patiently for announcements. I talked to Ms. Kim from the NY office a couple days ago and was told the same as stefairy in that they are waiting for the main office in Bonn to give their approval. I tried to see if the DAAD portal would give me any indication of my current status but it doesn't really say anything new. Good luck to everyone! And sorry to those who weren't granted an award this time around. Don't give up!

Oh whoa-- no, I didn't know about the 'scoring' system. How did you find out about your score? And do they tell you why you got the score that you did (ex. like a grading rubric)? At least you know a bit about what the DAAD looks for. And Good luck to you!! It sounds like you are in a good position for both grants.

Congrats! Wow, Indonesia is really on the ball letting their applicants know! I can't wait to hear back! For those who applied to Germany-- did you also apply to DAAD?

Hi!! Germany finalist here too! I'm hoping to study in Heidelberg. Good luck to everyone!
