I got an email asking for a budget confirmation as well!

My original plan was to go to Tunisia. It is frustrating that a majority of the Arab speaking world is unattainable due to security challenges. Having been to 8 different Arab countries I believe that they all provide something unique and benificial that can only be experienced from living and experiencing the culture and lifestyle in each country. @johndoe1234My friend received the Boren and took a week off the go on a 'vacation' halfway around the world in the middle of his program, although I'm sure the rules always change.

It said the program administration has decided not to fund certain programs due to security concerns and if I was chosen I would need an alternate. They said they were still reviewing all applications. A little upsetting since I just turned in the budget update email, but now if chosen would have no idea the budget of an alternate country.

Anyone else just receive an email?
