Yes, I received the survey as well. From what I read on last years Boren post, the survey does not mean much. What we are waiting for is the email for "updating our budget".

Just got news that I have been accepted for the Fulbright University of the Arts London award!

So sorry to those who didn't make it past the final stage, and congrats to those who did!

When you receive a Boren Fellowship, your self-esteem issues on this thread will probably be resolved and I might listen to what you have to say or write. Until then, you're just another wannabe with a really bad attitude. Maybe you're somebody or maybe you're not. Who cares?

And just think, all of that time you took to reply to and belittle my suggestions could have been spent researching your options, making a decision and writing your essays...here's some advice you can use: Stop whining, start writing and go for it. Success cures all. You'll never be a winner if you keep acting like a loser. Believe or not, there's nothing I'd like more than to see you prove me wrong and become a Boren Fellow.

Not to deprecate your very impressive receipt of a Fulbright, BUT 7500 people annually receive a Fulbright and only 151 people annually receive a Boren Scholarship and only 117 people annually receive a Boren Fellowship. The Boren is for a different breed; so, why don't you get the show on the road and join us...

Thanks for the support, but you must have failed to realize how good a troll I am! I managed to contact your friend and get the same information out of them even before you did! I AM GOD.

There's already a whole thread on this. See the NSF GRFP 2011-12 Thread. The NSF GRFP 2012-13 thread will be for those people who apply for it this fall.

But the fellowship results are usually released sometime in April.
