has any one else heard about the status of our javits funding? the last i heard was that javits funding for scholars in their second year of funding is no longer guaranteed (you'll note the language on the website has been changed to reflect this, thought it wasnt there when we applied or were awarded the fellowships) and now funding in our third and fourth years are pending congressional budgets for the last two years to the dept of education.

I found out today that I was accepted for the Javits 2011 year. It sounds like they are finishing up contacting the first round of selected applications today. Check your voicemail and inbox! I had missed a message from Carmen earlier in the week. I think they let alternates know in August so alternates won't know yet. Good luck!

That worries me, I have a tracking confirmation as well, but I still have not received any email confirming receipt of my materials and it is nearly an entire week after you posted your email confirmation. Have other people received confirmation as well by this point - Nove 4? I emailed the Javits office but I am doubtful they will be able to reply given the volume of applicants.

How can we be certain that the Javits office received our fellowship packages? I sent mine first class, but I want to make sure they received all the materials and nothing was missing. Do they typically send a confirmation email?
