"Principal" status. which means you got the award. A is alternate, NS is not selected. Do any of the subject lines actually include NS on them?? ?If so that's cruel :/

Yeah they tell you how much you will get when you are actually awarded, but other than that the fulbright pages of the respective countries should have something. But as you pointed out, some countries have it while others don't.

Actually it says on the fulbright website of each country. For example., in the Fulbright España site, it said the stipend amount depending on the assignment. You should try looking it up like that, some countries do have it on the website.

I love your username lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRyhay3lJi8

That's exactly what I was going to say. Yale is a HUGE deal, which is why I think you could do the research grant instead. It could be life's way of saying "you;re not meant for the ETA pos., you are meant for research!"

Oh no !!!!!!!!!!!! My heart is broken!! I know that you and oiliou (I can't remember her username) are the two people who have posted on here the most and seem to want it so bad !!! Well, I hope one way or another you can achieve your dream Maybe you should try doing the research one instead and maybe you will have a shot? Augh, that sucks man. But seriously you should pat yourself in the back for reaching this far....not many people get through the first stage !

what?????I thought you out of allpeople would get it!!!!!!!!!!!How can a Boren Alumnus not get it?? Apply next year,you got so far!!!

Woo-hoo!!! Looks like Asian notifications are moving on!

Are you subscribed to blogs from current fulbrighters? Maybe you can change your notification settings in the blogs so that you don't get an email every time there's a new entry on the blog. Don't torture yourself like that ! Or you could also manually check them without being subscribed

Wow that is quite early.! It's 7:42 here in California! Congraaaats *pops open champagne bottle * keep the good news coming!

Yay!!! I was totally rooting for ya congrats!!

PS what the heck happened to the google sheet? It's like...not in order. :/

Sorry I had limited internet access and didn't have time to respond. My original project was to have an afterschool "blogging" sort of activity where I would teach students how globalization affects their community and have them blog about different aspects of their culture whether its music, politics, or society, and then pair them up with American students so that they can both learn about each other's cultures. At the end, they could have some sort of newspaper/article summing up what they learned. However, since I'm interested in border studies and migration, I'm thinking of adding something about migration in this club.

Seriously Fulbright=hogwarts letter haha

To all of you who have yet to hear...just try to stay cool and excercise a bit!! I know that helped me when I was in the same waiting train as you. I know you are all feeling like you are waiting for the Hogwarts letter to come hah

How do I accept? I was placed in Madrid so do I email the person who sent me the email back?

Anymore Spain ETA peeps? Has anyone heard where they will be placed in ?

I agree with everyone here...this community is everything but rude/childish...I don't think..if by any chance Fulbright was snooping around here (which I doubt considering how much work they have with sending out notifications and all), they wouldn't penalize us for voicing out our frustrations. I don't think anyone is saying how much they hate Fulbright but rather how much they wish that they could hear back soon. The internet is never anonymous, but unless you're looking or posting things that would threaten national security or could scar your professional reputation, I don't think venting out on the grad cafe forums is a big deal imo. But who knows, people have different opinions regarding internet posting etc. I tend to be more open about these things, especially since this community has helped me stay sane. Super grateful I found this community otherwise I'd be in a fetal position in the corner of my room and twitching every time I hear the "new" mail sound on my Mac.

Congrats!!!! What I did was I googled " Fulbright ETA Spain blogs" and a lot of them came out, and that's how I know a little bit about what to expect. You can probably find out about the Turkish ETA program by doing the same thing!

Hi there, I'm just joining in the conversation but I'm thinking of applying to this fellowship for next year. I heard rumors that they are cutting funding for the social sciences NSF, is it true? I'm hoping to go into a PhD or a masters so just trying to figure out my chances of getting it Also, would you suggest applying for it when I'm in my masters or when I'm applying for the PhD program?

Thought I'd bring this up for those who are new to the forum and were asking about GPA requirements

PS she's on the very first page her name is Krys135 I think..she had a 2.9

One person who commented ont he very first pages of this group said she had less than a 3.0 and she was able to get the ETA grant to Brazil..so although the GPA could potentially play a factor in decision-making i think it's all about the statements/background/experience etc.

I got the Spain ETA grant too--but I don't think there's a Facebook group yet! Congrats <3

....I hate to say "everything happens for a reason" but try to stay positive...I know stuff like this is heart breaking especially if you model your entire research around it...I really hope you find other funding opportunities ...
