Der Kant

Received in Canada today.

Still nothing in Southwestern Ontario, Canada...

This just in: packages are being sent out at the end of this week from Bonn, and therefore might arrive the second week of May.

Has anyone received the package in the mail yet?

I'm wondering where those who have been accepted will be studying next year. I will be in Mainz doing dissertation work for a Ph.D. in philosophy. Also, has anyone had luck finding an apartment yet? Nothing seems to be available for September or October just yet.

Just got an acceptance e-mail!!!!! Looks like they were wrong about next week! I hope you all hear soon!

I agree, I get more anxious each day and unfortunately it looks like we won't hear before the end of March. Best of luck to you all with controlling your nerves over the week and weekend!

Clearly, I'm very anxious to hear back. Nonetheless, from facebook: Dear DAAD, Do you know when results for the Graduate Research Grant competition are expected to be announced? Please let me know and thanks in advance. 11:20am DAAD North America You will receive word next week.

Just in case anyone is curious, results seem to have been announced via e-mail on a Friday last year (according to last year's forum in any case).

Vielen Dank für deine Ermutigung! And I wouldn't stress too much if I were you either. Even though you spent some time in Germany already, you're not currently living there and are a US citizen (I'm assuming), so if you're eligible I don't see how they can deny you a scholarship just because you've spent lots of time in Germany. Maybe for other scholarships but the research grant even requires that your German be good etc so that might even be in your favour. Let's hope we hear back soon!

Has anyone contacted DAAD to see if results will be released earlier than end of March/beginning of April? Or does anyone know how many applied for a Graduate Research Grant vs. how many grants are available?

I was just notified by my grad coordinator that I got a CGS! Entering my first year Ph.D. in Sep in Philosophy. At the time of application I had: 2 publications in grad journals 3 conference presentations MA SSHRC SSHRC Michael Smith Foreign Study Supplement (spend 4 months studying in Germany) OGS in 2nd yr of masters a few TA and RA ships other substantial internal awards solid A average in MA, A- average in undergrad letter from current MA supervisor and a law/philosophy prof. (both are full professors) no score yet, but super excited nonetheless!

No news yet in southwestern Ontario (Windsor). Congrats to all!
