Hey all. NS for Ireland here. Just wanted to get the word out. Not too surprised since the masters program he grant was for got cancelled

Thank you for sharing that info!

So this is just a guess, but I think it at least means they won't be offering it 2018/19. I'm in the same boat with a different grant—it disappeared when they updated the website now that the 2018/19 application cycle is open. I'm hoping that it doesn't mean they are cancelled this year, but it's hard to know. I think we'll just have to wait it out, as stressful as that is.

I think that one just has * because it hasn't been offered before so they don't have previous data. I don't know if the one I applied for is suspended by Fulbright, just by the school, so I'm waiting to hear from them

I hope so! But I'm afraid Ireland applicants may be waiting a bit longer. I applied for one of the specific degree program grants and the program has been suspended from the school's side. I heard this directly from the school and haven't heard from Fulbright on whether or not they plan to find another way to run the grant. But since it seems the country results come out all together, part of the wait may be due to the commission having to figure out that issue.

I can only speak from personal experience, but I applied last year as well — made it through round 1, but then wasn't selected as grantee or alternate (this was a study/research grant with only one spot, like many of them). I think this implies that (at least in some cases) the US sends on several people and the host country determines finalist and alternate. Again, just my experience.

I'm not sure if this would apply to the primary app, and not sure if it was only because of the server issue, but embark tech support did help me with un/resubmitting the supplementary materials

Are any arts applicants having trouble with the Embark supplementary materials upload portal? When I initially submitted on Wednesday October 5th it seemed to go through, but I received an email saying that it had an issue and whenever I try to resubmit now, I get a connectivity error (attached screenshot) even though I have tested different internet connections and different browsers, and made sure that everything I was entering/uploading met all the length/size requirements. I've contacted Embark tech support but so far they haven't solved it (mostly just asked if javascript is enabled, which it is). Is anyone else having this issue/know what it is/how to fix it? I'm going crazy since there is no extension or anything for tech issues.

I don't think I've ever been rooting for someone as much as I am for you this cycle!! Talk about perseverance. I made it through the first round for Ireland in this past cycle and I'll be reapplying there.

Thanks for the kind wishes everyone

Thanks guys -- could use one about now haha. Best of luck to everyone still waiting

Ireland just came out. NS.

My feelings/hopes/lack of nails exactly!

Not that I've seen so far

Is anyone else on the thread waiting for Ireland results? PM me if you want and we can commiserate the waiting together!
