here's hoping

Any applicants for any of the SSRC Eurasia Program Fellowships? I had expected to hear back by now :-(

Thanks. I applied for the 2011 American Dissertation Fellowship. Maybe the process is different and I've been worrying needlessly.

Oh, just realized that you said the link should "start with" with what you posted. No wonder it didn't work :-) Could someone please post the full link? Thanks!!!!!!

Thanks so much but could you double check the link, pleeeaaaase? It isn't working. I'm pretty worried because I never received an email with a "status check" link. I submitted the application before the Nov. 15th deadline and the 40 dollar fee was charged to my credit card. I know my transcripts would have arrived in time, because I ordered them early enough, but I'm concerned about the completion verification form from my department (I gave them plenty of advance notice and sent several "gentle" reminders, but can't be sure the form got in the mail on time). I've been overseas for research and asked AAUW if they could confirm that they received my documents early early in the process. They said no. Now I'm pretty anxious that they charged me and just scrapped my application because one form *might* have been late. sigh.

which link have you used? thanks!

Hi everyone! I applied for the AAUW fellowship as well and just tried to check my status. The main page just has my name and address, the name of the fellowship, and something that says "test completed" under the next/options header. Where should I be looking? Thanks!

anyone book their tickets yet? I have yet to hear from my coordinator about whether we book them and then get reimbursed or whether there's some other procedure. Thanks!

haha...now I'm all the more concerned that I haven't yet heard from DoE.

oh no, flights are showing up at over 1000 more than what I budgeted--and I requested quite a bit...

humm...I'd say, no. I found out that I had the Fulbright-Hays at least a week after others on this forum had received the news. I'll start looking into flights, in any case, so that I'll be ready once (if) I receive the news.

Great, thanks, although I'm a little concerned that I did not receive a similar email.

Thanks for the news! Did you receive it in the mail or by email? I'm overseas right now and so snail mail would make things a little tricky.

Any news from Fulbright-Hays? I just thought I'd check in...

Yes, please, keep us posted everyone. I need to get a visa as well, which will take time. Thanks!

I turned down my Fulbright award to accept another fellowship for travel to the same country. It was the strangest feeling. I never in my wildest dreams imagined myself declining a Fulbright. Ever. But I'm glad this means that an alternate will receive it. Best of luck to everyone!

Thanks so much for your responses duckduckgoose and 4greenbananas! Congrats to you too!! I was unaware that declining the IIE would make me ineligible to apply in the future. Wouldn't this only apply if I accepted the grant? Thanks! In any case, I certainly hope that after a year in the field, I will have sufficient data to start writing my diss.

I am incredibly lucky to have received the Fulbright-Haysand the IIE Fulbright. I still don't know the terms of the grants. Any adviceon which to take?

I talked to two people who received F-Hs last year from different schools and they got word at very different times following very different procedures. Apparently each school does its own thing. sigh.

A guillotine is quick. I feel like I'm on death row.

What field are you in? The Fulbright program is also a cultural exchange and if your research is mostly archival, for instance, it might put you at a disadvantage.

Please let us know if you hear anything from the grant administrator at your school! I'm afraid to email mine.

Hi everyone, I'm also anxiously waiting to hear back about my Fulbright-Hays application. No word yet. Sigh.
