My status went from selection made to funding today. I heaved a sigh of relief that I am sure was heard all over the world.
Anyway, my advisor said that the official letters will be sent us in a matter of days (which could be more than 7, but we will hope for the best) as soon as they are approved. Furthermore, she told that the language training, unlike as in the years past, will begin in June 2018 and end in September 2018, 4 months that is, hence October should see us being sent to our various institutions.
