@HamiltonEng If you look at the post from that year you see that they kept delaying the results over and over. Another issue was that they notified the recipients but then delayed notifying the rest of the applicants that they had not been awarded the fellowship. This was supposedly done because they were considered alternates, so it kept everyone's hopes up for another month. It is really unfortunate that a better/faster method of picking fellows for this fellowship has not been worked out yet, but then again it appears that only 1 -2 people are in charge of selecting the awardees.
