Hi French Fry,
I called Rachel Holskin, US Fulbright Program Manager for France:
IIE Program Manager: Rachel Holskin
212-984-5326, rholskin@iie.org
on Wednesday. She said that letters were going out that day (this past Wednesday!). I mentioned that I applied for the full grant -- so at the very least, letters for the full research grant to France went out on Wednesday.
Hope this is helpful to you!
