Major lurker here, happened to check this thread today and thought I'd share.
I was an alternate for the SAFLI fellowship, and I got a response back the day after people were supposed to make decisions, I think May 1st or 2nd. Note, this is only my experience with the SAFLI fellowship program, not the scholarship. Since they got back to me quickly, I'll be going to convocation in DC.
Me going is still dependent on if I can get my letter of matriculation in time, but that's a whole other story... ?
Good luck to other alternates!
