Italia 2011 Italy alternate status ETA received 3/9/2011 small white envelope

Thanks! I think it'll be about two weeks or so.

ETA applicant here; we've spoken before. Though you all (Full grantees) were notified a while ago, we have yet to have receive anything. When someone had posted that the Italian letters were sent out, I assumed that included the ETAs but I was wrong. Someone else called and Rachel said that decisions had not been made yet and it would be quite some time before we'd be notified. The lesson to be learned here is patience. We are still in limbo.

Can anyone tell me if ETAs get notified at the same time as ful grants?

I don't see anything for Italy. Whomever is on the East coast will have the advantage though. I am in Southern Cali so I'll be last.

Are you serious? Are we talking about all letter? Full and ETA?

I've seen seen the spreadsheet for 2010-2011 but is there one for 2009-2010? If so, can you post it please?

Your right,.. I was mentally prepared for June but it is May. Either way, it's still a long time.

At least you don't have to wait until mid-June like the Italian folks. I think we might actually be last.

I am always finding one way or another to connect a word to something in Italian too. It's my curse as a linguist.

I too am wondering about the Visa process because I will actually be leaving the country soon. I am wondering if I will be need to make multiple trips to the consulate? Also, can this be taken care of at an embassy in another country? Or, does it need to be done within the states?

In terms of school loans, I think I you can get another deferment. I read something to that affect. Can anyone else confirm?

I applied to Italy as well, and you just have to accept the fact that they take their time. It's the Italian way...piano a piano.

April 23 was the date that candidates for Spain were notified last year. Maybe they are on top of it this year but, seeing how our transcripts are due in March, I don't see how they could process everything so soon.

What country did you apply for?

Thanks for the info.

I am also interested. Please do let us know on here if you get a notification via-email or you end up giving them a call.

Here is the stipend for Italy: GRANT BENEFITS The grant amounts to € 12.800. This sum includes a maintenance allowance of € 9.900, a settling-in & housing allowance of € 1.800 and a travel allowance of € 1.100. The grantee will be covered by Health and Accident Insurance for the whole grant period, provided by United States Department of State.

I got my e-mail from: "Fulbright U.S. Student Program" <messages@notification.embark.com> If I were you, and I would e-mail your adviser first, and if you get no info, e-mail whomever is in charge of your region. I think you should have been contacted by now.

Pay your own way, I don't think so. From what I read in last year's blogs, your flight and 3-5 day hotel is paid for.

Now that I think about it, I remember reading something about orientation being in Rome,l and something about all the Fulbrights meeting each other there.
