Just received the following response:
Dear ---,
We regret to inform you that we cannot fund you for an NDSEG Fellowship. The selection process was very thorough and your application was reviewed by many experts in your discipline.
NDSEG is very competitive and there were many more qualified applicants than could be funded. It is possible that you will be eligible to apply again next year for the NDSEG Fellowship. Unfortunately, we are not able to provide any feedback on your application, but please feel free to contact us if you have any other questions. We encourage you to continue with your educational goals and wish you success in your future endeavors.
Sincerely,
