Thanks! I will check out the Facebook page! So you decided on going with the Fulbright then? I remember reading that you were debating between two offers. It's good that they'll pay for the flight...now to learn Portuguese!

Hello everyone. I was notified that I was accepted for the ETA Brazil award. I'm really excited! Anyway, I'm wondering: Does Fulbright pay for your flight or do you have to pay out of pocket? EDIT: I read through my email and it said that they do cover round trip airfare. However, are there certain stipulations to this? For example, do you have to leave/arrive during certain dates? If I wanted to extend my stay would I forfeit having my airfare covered?

I'm for the ETA track- how about you? Also, just out of curiosity, what are you planning on doing when you come back? It would be awesome to get the Fulbright, but the fact that the academic year in Brazil is from March to October throws me off a little bit! It makes going to grad school a bit difficult!

Has anyone heard back from Brazil yet? Also, do you have to get your BS/BA degree before they can notify if you are accepted or not? I have some decisions that I have to make relatively quickly that are contingent on the Fulbright, but I have no idea if I will have to wait until May/June to find out if I got accepted!
