Just notified. They're asking for accept/decline by sept. 26th. Get in touch with your university rep if you haven't heard.

Warrint - that's correct. Got the fellowship, and the e-mail wants us to accept or decline by May 7th. So I was suggesting that, given their desire to get responses within a week, alternates near the top of the list who are likely to get bumped probably won't have to wait too long. Purely my speculation. And good luck again.

Notified of Boren Fellowship by email just before noon. It says to confirm by May 7th so alternates probably won't have to wait too long for bumps to start. Good luck to you all.

I got one budget update e-mail when everyone else did. But I have a friend/colleague who got an additional couple of emails afterwards asking for updates. The first additional email was apparently sent to many applicants with domestic language study prior to overseas work to make sure the program costs would be the same as stated in the budget (which are usually based on the previous year). The second was sent because Boren could not fund a portion of the proposed project due to travel restrictions and were inquiring about whether there was a Plan B for that portion or if it would just be cut short. I've heard of this happening in the past as well. All in all, it means the good people at Boren are processing applications and making decisions. Based on previous years, it looks like the decisions will come during the first week of May. I'm guessing there will be little or no new info before that. Hope that helps inquiring minds.

I'm also full to Jordan and included the CLEA in my application. The e-mail I received (which I assume is the same as yours) didn't say anything about this either. Let me know if you find out about this and I'll do the same.

Full grant to Jordan. Received just before 6pm EST from Jermaine Jones. Hope to hear from other Jordan-bound people. Best of luck to those still waiting and alternates.

Recommended for Full Research Grant to Jordan. Anyone else for Jordan?
