I heard on Friday from our coordinator I received the award, with the 9/26 deadline to respond. I was quite overjoyed about that, but I have to say I'm now pretty disgusted hearing that people were discriminated against based on their national/linguistic background. International students already have so few funding options because of citizenship/residency reqs, especially with the recent discontinuation of several important fellowships. That this rule was imposed in 1998 to make sure students who were able to acquire citizenship or permanent residency were also prevented from winning the award is really unjust. It's good to hear people are fighting back and NCLA is on the case.

Sure, I'll let you know as soon as I hear if others don't post first. Good luck.

We were told late last week that the Secretary of the DDRA had sent approval, but they're waiting on final approval from the Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board and the Office of Legislative and Congressional Affairs, and that there will probably be a short window to accept/decline the awards, so be regularly checking email.

Thanks for the update. We haven't heard anything from our point person since the "early September" memo.

Nothing yet either. Hope we hear today or this week!
