Update for South Africa people if anyone is interesting in hearing. I emailed Jermaine Jones and asked about our timeline for finding out about placements etc. and about how many people got grants. They had posted on 4 ETAs were being given but now there are 10? Thats great!
*****
The Fulbright office in South Africa takes the lead in terms of the placement process of ETAs. I’m not totally sure of how they go about deciding who will be assigned to which institution, but if previous years are any indication, most of you should know your placements by early/mid-summer.
And you are one of 10 people awarded ETA grants to South Africa for the coming year. Nine additional students have been awarded standard (research/study) grants to South Africa for 2011/2012. I can’t put you in touch with each other at this early stage, so would ask that you hold off a little while on this.
I hope this helps.
Best,
Jermaine
