I emailed the NDSEG today and received the following. I have also given up any hope.
Thank you for your message. Applications are still being considered for awards, and we are awaiting further instruction from the DoD. Please note that we have begun the award process; however, not all awards have been issued yet. Unfortunately, the Department of Defense has not yet given us a timeline as to when the remaining awarded applicants will be announced. We appreciate your patience and understanding. Please let us know if you have any questions. Thank you, The NDSEG Program Team at ASEE 1818 N Street NW, Suite 600 Washington, DC 20036 Phone: (202) 649-3831 Fax: (202) 265-8504
