Accepted to study Akan/Twi! So excited!

Whoohoo! Thanks yall! They announced in a tweet too!

Thanks! Same to you! There is so much uncertainty because of Covid-19. Honestly I have been trying to avoid thoughts of not being awarded Boren.

Maybe they moved the date to next week because of Easter weekend but I hope we hear back today or another day this week.

I don't think that they are going to send out a second budget email. I emailed them inquiring about making updates to my budget and was told at this stage budget changes are not needed and we will be contacted regarding our status in a week or two.

No, not yet! Hopefully by tomorrow or Friday they will be sent.

Sound like a good sign to me!

That's awesome! Congratulations on being selected as a Fulbright semifinalist and good luck! Hopefully you are selected for both. Yeah, I'm a little bit nervous about the coronavirus, hopefully we can get it in control soon.

Yes, I think you're right. My program starts in September. I think we should be getting the budget email soon, based on reading the previous Boren forum. Maybe this coming week or the week after.

Hey! It is brutal. I received the survey email and completed it. You guys think that Boren will push back travel due to the coronavirus?

Yes, definitely excited. Fingers crossed, we all get it! Have you studied Japanese in the past or will Boren be your first experience studying the language?

The fellowship.

I am! Applying to study Akan/Twi in Ghana. I plan to submit my application the first week in January.
