Hi all - I've followed the forum for awhile now. Just found out today I got the research grant to Burkina Faso. It seems that SS Africa really does announce all or most on the same day.
To those who didn't make it - Photogeographic - just want to echo the Swaziland guy. I'm 31, and in a PhD program. Fulbrights are not only for people in their early 20s! And -- there are many other opportunities out there. Life sometimes - I mean often - doesn't go as we hope or we plan, but that's where all the good stuff is. The learning and the letting go and the re-focusing on what really matters. I'm sure you'll find a new and fulfilling path if you are open to it.
