Hey guys, just wanted to let you know my portal status has been changed from "selection made" to being blank. Has anyone else seen or heard of this happen?
Study Scholarship, DAAD NY, portal status: blank

I just came across this forum last week, when I started looking for people online who were also waiting for DAAD decision about the scholarship. I applied from North America last october and just recently got a response. My application status changed yesterday from "submitted" to "rejected". Today I got an official letter via portal stating that I was rejected. Anyway, it seems like they could only award 1/2 of the scholarships compared to previous years when something like 150-170 were handed out. On top of that, I did notice how Germany was getting more press about their no tuition programs, which I'm certain that could have increased the number of applications to 450's. One more thing could be that DAAD's budget was downsized, at least for NA because they introduced new scholarships for refugees in Germany. Seeing how that is a political priority now, I'm not surprised that the chances of getting a scholarship were slim to none.
Anyway, I'm still thinking of a way to finance my master's studies in Germany, although being rejected does make things much harder. Perhaps if someone is in a similar situation, we could talk more.
Best regards to those who are still waiting
flingstylejm,
Sorry to hear about the rejection, but thanks for the update. Just out of curiosity, did the DAAD state they that could only award 1/2 of the scholarships as compared to last year, or is that speculation.
Also, to avoid confusion, may I propose that we include the program we applied for, which DAAD office we correspond to, and the status on our portals in each of our posts? I figure it could help faster understand where other people are in the application process. It could look something like this:

Of course, just realized I have no idea if those are actually "Study Scholarship" recipients, or if this includes everyone.
Either way, doesn't look like there's a quota.Cool, thanks!. I noticed that the 2014 tally page separated the winners by research or study scholarship,with at 40/60 split respectively. But who knows if those percentages can be extended to other years...

According to 2015 results, 158 Graduate Study Scholarships were awarded.
I have not heard of a quota. Just briefly scanning the list, I only saw one entry from Toronto. So I don't think there's a quota.
28 undergrad scholarship awards.Hey S3V,
158 study scholarships seems a bit higher than I expected. Do you mind me asking where that number came from? Thanks!

Has anyone else had any problems uploading the declaration of acceptance? I'll choose the file and input a name for the file. Then I'll hit the "send documents" button, but I keep getting a message that " no documents were uploaded". Any advice? Thanks!
