I have been offered a Japan Foundation dissertation fellowship for next year but would like to know the outcome of my applications for the Fulbright IIE and Fulbright-Hays before formally deciding between the options. I am at the University of Kansas where I work on premodern Japanese history -- the plan is for me to go ABD by the end of summer.
My friends who work on Eastern Europe have already been notified about their Fulbrights, so I am just wondering how much longer we will have to wait!
Are you are JET in Nagoya? Or are you studying abroad through Northwestern? Where are you in your program?
