Noooo. I got a different grant (small one) through Nat Geo which was an adaptation of my past Fulbright proposal. So even thought I didn't get the Fulbright I'm glad something came out of all my crazy time and work put into that application.

I will be photographing the use of honey bees as a mitigation technique in the human elephant conflict in Kenya. elephantsandbees.com

YES ! DO APPLY ! If you have made it this far with the National Geographic Fulbright there is no doubt in my mind that you would get a NGYE grant ! I leave in April to start mine so I am a bit nervous/excited/anxious ! http://www.nationalgeographic.com/explorers/grants-programs/young-explorers/ is a good place to start. If you reach out to their contact info on the website they're usually very helpful !! Direct message me if you have any other questions. Again good luck with Fulbright !!

Are you applying again ?! I will be applying to Indonesia next year. I hope you apply again. I will be happy to be going through this process again with a familiar friend who knows how frustrating this process can be !! I know how crazy can't believe you weren't even recommended ! I was a finalist twice. Tweaked my proposal in order to be more community focused and not even recommended as well.

Wow Congrats ! I have never applied for a Nat Geo Fulbright. But was recently awarded a Nat Geo Young Explorers grant. (after being a Research Fulbright Finalist twice but ultimately not getting the grant -_-) Good luck your project sounds amazing !

I did not. Didn't even make it as a finalist this year ! But I am not too down about it. Making it as a finalist last year helped me get a grant this year to do the project finally. I will probably be applying next year again but not to a country with such challenging odds. Did you hear back yet ?!

Good luck tomorrow ya'll !!

if its like last year we will all find out at the same time for the recommended round. As for interviews I can't say. Although I am assuming its only specific countries still and not all.

Just re-read my proposal .. that was a bad idea ..

ahhhh yay ! This is great ! Someone last year had an adviser give a heads up that it would be on Friday last year (the 16th) and they were correct ! We will all hear by email at the same time for this round.

Wow Good luck ! That is so exciting !!! was the Nat Geo application a lot harder than the research application ? Did you propose to work in Sweden again ? I know someone who was a finalist last year for Fulbright Nat Geo. I am so interested in that application but never had the guts. Have you ever considered a National Geographic Explorer/Young Explorer grant ? After 4 Fulbright applications I was finally granted a NGYE grant this fall. Might be something to look into as well !

That is the notification by date. There is a good chance it will be sooner ! From last year ... although this may not help with the losing your mind part 2015: January 16th... I think it was a Friday ? 2014: Tuesday, January 28th 2013: Friday, January 18th 2012: Thursday, January 19th 2011: Thursday, January 20th 2010: Friday, January 29th (Apparently they had issues that year with the Embark system going down) 2009: Friday, January 30th 0 Quote Options

I second that ! Those Nat Geo odds are insane. I had always wanted to apply for it but always stuck with academic instead. Good luck wildchartermage !

I don't think they update them until next summer or late fall

Oh my god ! I could hug you. This is also my fourth time applying. I've been a finalist twice. I thought I was insane for applying so many times. I'm so glad I'm not the only one ! How did you decided to adapt your proposals ? I've applied to Kenya twice. Ethiopia and India. All but once applying under the arts. The one time I didn't was the one time I was not a finalist. Still don't have very high hopes this year but no regrets on applying either way.

Yeah it said the 30th on the website last year as well. But who knows they will most likely be closer to the 30th this year than earlier like last !

Anyone here (other than Bluefit because I remember ya from before ) applying for the second or more time ? Anyone have any guesses on when they will notify us this year !?

I don't know if mine talked about the feasibility too much. I think its probably not a deal breaker !

Took the liberty to make a 2016-2017 spreadsheet. Its a basic attempt. If someone knows excel/google docs better feel free to make changes but its a start ? https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1AlU2xDiiVhQjK3quPy6qXJuhgXYghzzG8L4YNT0unX0/edit#gid=1893879233

I was wondering the same thing

Does anyone have a link to the spread sheet for this season ? I thought someone had posted it recently but I couldn't find it ..... already getting antsy for January !

I agree ! At least they're in ! I'm not sure what my score was. My FPA told me right before I submitted my final application that there were still a lot of grammar issues I needed to work out. But didn't even do me the favor of giving me an edit or any specific feed back on what issues were there. This was after I had my campus writing center read it over multiple times, in addition to my teachers and mentors. The committee also gave me weird feed back about how I had filled out the application even though the way I filled it out was how Fulbright specially asked us to. (specifically dates on the employment pages). Hopefully if its meant to be it will work out !!

Ugh. I also had a horrible campus committee review. I had an evaluator ask me questions that had nothing to do with my proposal. I seriously had to question if he had even read my proposal at all. Did you decided to submit At Large ? Good luck !

This happened to me last year ! I had to contact Decision Desk and they helped me figure it out. I hope you were able to solve your issue before the final deadline !!
