Your welcome!

Hiya! My use of the term of "mellon-infused" was a bit of a joke. I like it because it sounds like a sports drink ad. On my CV, I put "the IIE Graduate Fellowship for International Study (Formerly, Fulbright-Hays DDRA)." Right after, I have a statement about Mellon funding. I know my eyes would immediately dart towards the "Fulbright-Hays" section if I was reading it.

I'm a Mellon-infused/DDRA Migrant. I've been using the abbreviation IIE GFIS for this. I'm still wanting on many details, but my funding through IIE GFIS will allow me to live comfortably for my 12 month stay.

DDRA Migrant...kinda I am one of the DDRA applicants. I discovered after its cancellation in May that (1) I was a finalist and (2) I was being considered for the Mellon/IIE grant that was created for qualified DDRA'ers. Last week, I got full funding from Fulbright IIE - me and about 99 other people. However, everything about this is really vague. I've accepted, but I'm still not sure what the procedures are from this point forward (or details). I'm a DDRA'er? An IIE'er? Not sure... Anyone else in this boat?
