  1. Yeah... this was the last fellowship application that I was waiting for, so I was hoping for the best. Might be a shut-out year for me unfortunately 😅
  2. I haven't heard anything personally, but it looks like some people received acceptance letters beginning on March 18th on the Academic Jobs Wiki. It's possible we're on a waitlist, but I think most likely we would have heard by now if we received an outright acceptance. https://academicjobs.fandom.com/wiki/Dissertation_Fellowships_2024-2025#Mellon/ACLS_Dissertation_Innovation_Fellowship
  3. Just got a rejection email. Good luck to those still waiting to hear back
  4. Glad to have someone else in the thread 😄 Yes - it looks like there's definitely going to be some time before we start hearing back from them (either positively or negatively).
  5. Yes!! It doesn't seem to be as widely discussed. I don't know too much about it outside of what is posted on their website (wonderful mission, $30K fellowship, focus on social justice, etc.). The organization is in line with my dissertation research, so I'm hoping for the best. I actually don't know what their timeline is, but I'm assuming their first round of reviews will happen around February/March if they are following a similar timeline to other external dissertation fellowships. Not positive though!
  6. Hi all! As a new Ph.D. candidate, I applied for a few dissertation fellowships. I thought I'd open a few threads for those who want to commiserate now that the deadlines have passed. Anyone apply for the Center for Engaged Scholarship this year?

  8. Hi all! As a new Ph.D. candidate, I applied for a few dissertation fellowships. I thought I'd open a few threads for those who want to commiserate now that the deadlines have passed. Anyone apply for NAEd/Spencer this year?
  9. I'm trying to remind myself that there were just a lot of applicants this year. They could only choose 77 out of more than 2400 of us that applied, so I guess it was a long shot regardless. Wishing you the best on your academic journey 🙂
  10. Hi all! As of about five minutes ago, I received my rejection email. It's unfortunate, but this fellowship is ridiculously competitive. So I can't be too upset. Good luck to those who are still waiting (if there are any)!
  11. No updates on my end! The last email that I received from them says that we should hear back regarding interviews (either way) by January 16th. Not too far from now, but I'm assuming we'll likely start to hear something after the holidays. Glad to see another applicant here!
  12. Hi all! Thought I'd start a thread for this year's applicants. The application closes on October 26th. How's everyone feeling? 🙂
  13. Just coming back to say that I just signed a lease at Maple Valley in DABCO. Hope everyone is having a smooth time figuring out living situations, etc.
  14. Thanks so much! You as well. Hmm, I'm probably most nervous about the commute between NYC and Pullman in all honestly. I'm not going to be able to visit home nearly as much because of how expensive it'll be, but I'll just have to make the adjustment lol. But I'm most excited about experiencing the campus (which looks beautiful) and just having the opportunity to dig into my research more. How about you?
  15. I'll be starting my Ph.D. in American Studies and Culture at WSU this fall. So nice to meet you! I'm currently based in NY and I've never been to the west coast, so I'm excited for the change
  16. Hi all! I know that there's an older thread about Pullman here, but I wanted to try to start a new one for Fall 2022 incoming students. Anyone start looking into housing yet? I'm pretty sure I be using DABCO.
  17. Finally received my Rutgers rejections as well (through the portal). Shortest rejection I've ever received lol. Good luck to everyone still waiting on decisions!
  18. Thank you so much for this!! I can have some peace now lol. Good luck to those still waiting on decisions
  19. Lol I know right ? Guess it was just a dream. I'm just going to start preparing for my other school until I hear otherwise.
  20. Has anyone heard anything from Rutgers since @lagom_lagom's acceptance? They're the last program that I have to hear back from, and would like to move forward with my choice if I'm going to get a rejection ? (I only got into one school, so would like to make it official soon.)
  21. Hi all! I know we haven't used this thread much this application season, but just popping in to say that I just received my rejection from Northwestern's African American Studies program. Hope you're all have a successful season!
  22. Also received a Yale rejection. Oh well lol. That was the last American Studies program I was waiting on, so I'll be a silent observer from now on. Wishing the rest of you the best as you hear back
  23. Congratulations!!! That's wonderful. You have two really great choices ? I haven't heard anything either. I think barely anyone has, so I think Yale is still pretty fair game for all us. Trying to remain hopeful lol!
  24. Just received my rejection to Brown.
  25. Just received a rejection from Princeton. I got an email to check my portal. Good luck to all who applied!
