I am currently an alternate for the full grant to Germany and I a strange letter was mailed to my permanent address today...
This letter was from the German Fulbright panel in Bonn (instead of the IIE, where the notification letters were sent from) and basically reiterated my alternate status, however ending the letter with a request for response by the 30th of April as to whether or not I am still interested in the Fulbright full grant. I find this strange only because, as stated in the original alternate letter from the IIE, alternates should only receive additional notice if they have been moved up to principal status.
Unfortunately, I am not living at my permanent address, so I do not have the original letter and its exact language in front of me, but I am curious if any other full grant alternates, for Germany or any other country, have received a secondary letter like this and if anyone could lend some insight.
Thank you!
