Hey! So I actually made the decision to tell PiAf when they needed a decision that I wasn't comfortable making one before hearing back from Fulbright. They were only willing to give me a 2 hour extension haha so I ended up turning down the offer. Was risky and I was nervous but luckily somehow I heard back two hours later that I got the Fulbright! So it worked out for me. Fingers crossed that it works out for you as well!

Just found out I got the Fulbright to India Research Grant!! Still processing and honestly probably will be for some time, but so so happy & relieved For those of you who also applied to a CLEA, did you find out if you were awarded that in the same email? I see no mention of it in mine.

Ah thanks so much for your response! So I tried that and unfortunately it didn't work-- they want me to make a final decision by today either way and basically withdraw all other opportunities. Really tough place to be in

Guys I was hoping to get some advice. I recently found out I was awarded a Princeton in Africa fellowship, and I need to either accept or decline by tomorrow afternoon, which is very soon and is stressing me out. I am a semifinalist for Fulbright Research in India, and really have no idea anymore when the decision will be released. For others who have applied/been awarded fellowships, are you just accepting what you receive first, then doing the slightly-unprofessional thing and backing out if you get Fulbright/another top choice? I know that it's not as big of a deal with job offers, but with fellowships I'm guessing it could look a lot worse to do that.

Any Fulbright in India applicants getting exhausted from waiting and waiting :'((
