Hey guys, I'm new. I just heard on Monday (the 22nd) that I got accepted as a Germany ETA for 2010-2011. And my main question is about our funding/allowances - I've been having a lot of trouble figuring those out.
On the site (the Fulbright US one) it says we will be getting our round trip covered, paid living expense and some medical insurance. But if you go look on the Germany Fulbright page, it's says ETAs are run all by the PAD, which in their circulars and for the ETA program in general, says they will give us an allowance of 700-800 Euro/month. Is this the same thing as what the Fulbright US thing was referring to when they said they would pay us for living espenses, or will we get funds from both the PAD and the Fulbright grant, one for living costs and one for whatever else? Even harder for me to interpret is how to figure that out, when the circulars say some grantees will get it from the Bundeslaender, some from Fulbright, and some from the Fed. Government. Is this all just the same 700-800 Euros? If not is it for living expenses or just extra? I hope I didn't write this too confusingly. Has anybody heard or know? Thanks!
