No but that might be a good idea. I got the green light to audit courses at the affiiated university, so keeping them updated is probably wise. On the other hand, we're pretty close to hearing back so maybe it's worth it just to wait and see what the final word is.

Narnia ETA awarded!! O.o

Carrier pigeons

Any idea on when full grants to Malaysia will be announced? I was thinking mid-March, but realized I had nothing to base that on aside from wishful thinking and the fact that there are only 5 grants.

I'm not entirely sure but frankly I wouldn't doubt a change in the number of grants or grant amount if some major budget issues came up.

This is actually my bigger cause for concern. They may award a grant, but have heavy limitations on their funding, which can lead to smaller grant amounts, fewer grants, or delays in responses while they evaluate their total budget. My professor received a scholar grant much later after they saw they had some more money and was essentially in flux until then. For research grants to southeast asia, anyone know what the range for the grant is and whether it depends on personal finances at all (savings, work, etc) ?

I went to Central Asia a few years ago and loved it. Definitely check out Osh, it was one of my favorite cities there, especially because of the diversity (people, ideologies). Also, it will conveniently put you in proximity to Uzbekistan and East Turkestan

Anyone have updates on a full grant to the Middle East or East Asia? Also, my status: Malaysia, full, recommended.
