That says it'd be publicly announced May 4th, but the awards would be sent to recipients on March 20th which has long passed. Regardless, I think it's safe to say that the pandemic has severely delayed this fellowship's timeline and we will probably be waiting much longer than anticipated. I'm gonna go play some Overwatch to get my mind off of things.
Why was it punted to STI-TEC in 2018 and then SysPlus this year after being run by the ASEE for so many years? We're out here working our asses off to help this country (which I love) advance our technologies where this fellowship could provide hundreds with the resources to do so, but they're just twiddling their thumbs up their butts. They spend so much money on trying to recruit new scientists and graduates to join government agencies after graduation, but shit like this just turns us all off and they wonder why.
Lurker here... what the fuck is taking them so long? How is it possible that the NDSEG is still this poorly run after so many years (since the 1980's I think)? This is the DoD we're talking about.
Edit: and I'm not even talking about the delay in releasing results. Back in January or December they had a situation where they deleted some reference letters and one of my references had to resubmit. How is that level of incompetence possible? This isn't just some average-joe fellowship too; this is a 100k+ fellowship.
