@Abby08 Very cool! I didn't apply for the Fellowship since I'm not in grad school nor had I been applying to grad school -- that might be later down the road for me at this point. So I was only eligible for the Scholarship

We are so. close. @Abby08 Good to see another on the Arabic squad. Where are you planning on studying? Qasid, perhaps?

Didn't receive a second budget update hope that doesn't spell doom, even if Mr. Michael says it doesn't. Don't think I've ever wanted anything more.

Going absolutely bats. Looking at the dates on our doc...it very well could be this week or next!

@MoroccanMadam Oh wonderful! I've visited Al Akhawayn and enjoyed being in Ifrane. I spent my immersion in Meknès, local to Fès (where I had some killer coucous djaj, I'll tell you where that [tiny!] restaurant is!) and immensely historic -- definitely off the map as far as tourists but it's a gem! I could definitely still wind my way through the souqs in Meknès to get to my school in my sleep, ahhhh I want to go back so badly! But yes, send me a message, I've trekked all over and would love to talk to you about it! Days are counting down! We're roughly twenty days away from the "hear back" period, get excited! As part of our grade for my Arabic course, we have to lecture the class for one full course time during the semester -- I lectured yesterday on (WHAT ELSE) Oman and one of my classmates asked me, "You know so much about Oman, did you study there?" No, but HOPEFULLY!! I'm taking it as a sign. I'm taking pretty much anything as a sign.

@johndoe1234 I don't think there's such a clause? As long as you have the money/housing for it, I don't think they can really penalize you for scheduling a flight that way? I'm not sure, though it could be a thing where it wouldn't be good to use Boren funds to fund auxiliary travel?

@MoroccanMadam You've chosen an incredible country!! I've spent a combined 3.5 months there and would love to talk to you about it, especially if you end up getting the scholarship (or even if you don't)! If you do I would toooootally love to chat with you about dialect/where to go/etc., I have a huge passion for Morocco. Where are you planning on studying, I'm guessing Rabat? Marrakech? Wow, how exciting, I'm so jealous; I love Morocco! Good to know that your advisor is on the inside! Could it be possible that the email only says that everyone got it? I wonder, it seems like we are 100/100% on budget emails on this forum, so I'm unsure. Either it's not true for this year or we have a really fantastic group of applicants! And I know; I would say that I access the Google docs and this forum probably daily. I'm so antsy; I'm thinking about it every single day. I'm sure that you've got an amazing shot, especially with your advisor's help!

@mikjy I didn't! What was it about?

@johndoe1234 @aohl0628 Very exciting! Are your years starting in September?
-
@aohl0628 How cool! Here's hoping Boren makes all your dreams come true. Are you applying for a year? I'm planning on doing a 30h/week language intensive in Muscat with the possibility of taking on an internship or other kind of work in the second semester (I applied for a year). I want to work in interpretation/translation with the CIA and/or other D.C. alphabet organizations as a career, so Boren seemed right up my alley! My thesis is on Oman's role as an intermediary between the U.S. and Iran (specifically re: nuclear deal) so I'd love to look into potentially working in the embassy in Muscat while I'm there (if I'm there, ahh!) @kbui Lucky you for going in an earlier year! How would you describe your experience with Boren? I'd love to hear

Budget request to all Boren Scholarship applicants received Wednesday, March 9, 2016 at 1:54pm. Redacted text below: Hello from the Boren Awards. We are emailing all 2016 Boren Scholarship applicants [with the exception of AFLI French/Swahili/Portuguese, SAFLI and Language Flagship] to see if you have any changes to your scholarship budget. We understand that costs might have changed a little since you submitted your application, and now we are giving everyone the chance to make edits to the budget and the budget alone. All applications are still being reviewed at this time and no decisions have been made yet. Maybe Boren...caught on to the fact that their budget emails were telling re: acceptances and have abandoned the select budget emailing practice? I hope not but it would make sense, I guess. Too bad, the peace of mind would have been great.

@reekeecim I definitely went a little overboard with the digging for information on past years...what can I say, it's the dream. What would you like to be doing in Azerbaijan? We've hit March, the fabled month of budget emails. Fingers crossed, losing my mind already. Have been seeing plenty of Oman omens (please forgive me for that terrible joke) so I'm hopeful!
