    Congrats Transport and Hakob!! (What a relief, after all that!). It would be great to meet up-- what's a good way for people going this year (knock wood) to connect outside the gradcafe?

    Hi Transport, thanks for this info! I just got the official acceptance letter this morning, so, if you haven't also received word, you can't have long to wait at this point.
    There is a clause in the letter that says, due to the COVID 19 situation, the grant period "may have to be postponed." 
    Good luck to all still waiting!!

    @Sorrel Recieved my acceptance this morning as well, officially! Looking forward to potentially meeting! Not sure if they do any sort of orientation for this grant type (doesn't seem so, but you never know). Feeling good about the word "postponement" as well - reasonable - but they aren't guessing what it'll look like then. TUM is considering starting their winter semester Nov. 1, instead of Oct. 1, so a postponement like that would be totally reasonable.
    @Hakob Congratulations!! That's amazing! What a rollercoaster for you!!

    General update for all still waiting: I contacted the DAAD through the portal and asked when we might expect to receive official word from them. I got a very friendly prompt answer saying: "I hope to give you an answer in a few days" Not sure if "a few days" is for an official answer, or for an estimate for an official answer... ? Seems like things are really still up in the air, there. Probably all who say we're waiting for virus trends are right... keep safe, stay busy, try not to check the portal too often! ; )

    No, my program is a three month research grant which could start from July 1, so I chose the first possible day ?

    In the same boat! US applicant to the 1 year doctoral research grant. My status changed to funding almost two weeks ago now, but haven’t received any other info yet either.

    Hallo,
    Sorry for the delay, I open this page after a while...
    Did you get the scholarship?
    I wrote DAAD to know about this Covid-19 thing and they replied to me saying that the scholarship wont be lost, in the worst scenario it would be posponed, but it is not about to happen, they will send an official communication because plenty of the scholarship holders are, of course, nervous...
    Let me know if you know anything else.
    BR,
    Carlos

    Thank you very much:) Yes, I think they will notify about the results after the 10th of April as always, but the status used to be changed by the end of March, this is why I am nervous. But of course I need to chill))

    Thank you!
    And it seems to me, USA applicants may have heard back today, so yours may be on a different timeline. Best of luck on the wait! I haven’t heard of someone hearing back on a weekend day, so I would think not, but not 100% certain.

    Just found this thread but I agree, I applied for All Master's from Canada and have the "selection made" status, I don't think it means funding has been awarded

    Also, I never got around to making an official announcement (forgot lot) but my application status changed to funding!!!! I woke up about two and a half weeks ago to an email from the DAAD with the gist as follows:

    And when I checked my status it had gone blank; a few days later it updated to Funding:
     

    It was almost too good to believe for a few days, and I felt like I would jinx myself somehow lol so I didn't really tell anyone for a few days until I got my official letter of award and documents. I'm really happy about being chosen, even though I haven't posted much I actually have been following this thread for some months now and it was very encouraging during all those weeks and weeks of no updates and waiting to hear a decision. Now half the battle is over; I still have to get accepted into the schools. My language course is going to be in Munich; is anyone else going there? All the best to those still waiting to hear back on their applications ❤️

    I am very proud of all of those you got the award! That's awesome!
    However, as a "Not Recommended" person with some conflicting reviews and I think a bit nitpicky at that, I feel defeated. The thing keeping me going is the fact that I got an internal fellowship and an external fellowship and I have an awesome PhD research advisor with great project ideas, which I feel super lucky about. Also, I can't let this experience as well as my successes define me, just have to put a little bit of effort into getting over the reveviewers' words. I guess you can't win them all.
    Also, I am proud of myself for a good application in general. I didn't have a mentor to help me, and I wasn't even currently working on research at the time, but I did get help from two people, which I am super thankful for.
    Good luck to everyone on their future endeavors!

    Not awarded. But with only 21 awards in the massive field of Civil Engineering, not feeling too bad for myself. Hopefully the reviews will explain why in a few weeks though!
