Additionally, I've found out that Brazil, Indonesia, Pakistan, China, Russia and India are prioritized.

I'm sort of keeping my fingers crossed, too. I received a fellowship for Palestine which I am really excited about, but I know that if I received the Fulbright I would immediately take that... Even though I've never been to Palestine and it would be such a cool, new experience, Fulbright probably trumps all. IDKKKKKKKKKK. But according to the spreadsheet, there are quite a few alternates for the Full Grant so I really doubt I'm going to hear anything
Congratulations to those of you who have been promoted thus far! That is such wonderful news and I hope we can keep hearing back. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for Morocco.
Just a heads up. I posted this on the 2013 page.
Stats for Morocco (Full grants) have gone down. Theres even one less than the 12 thats posted as available for 2011-2012. They used to fund much more there.
11 full grants accepted (2011-2012)
(12 available)
(2008 says 12 available)
(2007 says 12 available)
2007- 15 Full grants accepted
Morocco and Jordan saw a drop from the posted amount of grants. Other countries saw growth.

The site is much faster now, which is nice.
And some of the statistics are still there if you click on the upper righthand corner.

found this http://news.stkate.e..._fulbright.html
Thanks for finding one of them. I am wondering how low the number of research grants are for this year.
.....
It is unfortunate that a number of cuts have been made. If the Moroccan FB Commission were still funding 21 awardees today, we would all be preparing to move as opposed to lingering in hopes of being the lucky 1 or 2 in what seems to be a long list of alternates.
Keepin' positive!!
I certainly hope its not as low as one or two. This has involved years of intense work and this is not my first alternate listing for Morocco. To think that just a few years ago there were more than 20 grantees is extremely painful to consider.

alternate for a full grant to morocco.
i was also asked to provide a picture of myself.
i know it's typical to ask for a picture in france for all types of applications. i just didn't think they would ask us to do such a thing. it totally made me feel uncomfortable. a subjective way of selecting people, eh?
obviously there are a few of us on the list. like iridescence* i also did a search and found this link. i think there may be two other alternates (unless you are on this forum): http://www.cmc.edu/m...onal_awards.php
i just don't see why they would select so many alternates if there is a slim chance of getting the one to two (okay, possibly three) slots that may potentially open if funding becomes available?
i don't see the point but perhaps i just don't get how the process works. anyone have experience working with grants or scholarships that can shed some insight?
don't get me wrong...i'm glad i made it this far but things just feel like a lottery game now.
Another two, assuming those two Morocco Fulbright finalists aren't on this forum.
This list of alternates is getting a bit substantial. Where is even one full grant winner for Morocco?
there was more funding back in 2010. they've made significant cuts from what i've read. i heard they got rid of the fulbright-hayes program. select applicants were supported when the mcarthur foundation or some other foundation forked the necessary funds. sad to see these programs go...
In previous years, there's been as many as 21 full Fulbright winners in Morocco (2008). 2009 saw 16. If I recall correctly, 2010 was also 16. Apparently, the budget cuts talks brought it down close or just below the advertised 12 last year. So, where is even one winner this year?

i was also notified that i am an alternate for morocco (full)
did you all get emails asking for a picture?
Yes
spreadsheet info
I was notified on 04/25/2012.
This person above is listed as a full fulbright (alt)
Thanks for your hard work.

Thanks for joining the forum and posting! Interestingly, I've not come across anyone who has been awarded a full research grant to Morocco. Have you? Normally university's post such information on their websites. Did you apply for an ETA or for a full grant (I'm guessing full since you responded to my thread).
If there are any other alternates to Morocco lurking please post so we can at least give each other an idea of how long the list is.
Full Grant. I do not know of anyone who got it.
Before the Fulbright website changeover, I checked out the 2010 winners and found 16 fulbright Full (not ETA) grant winners. All but two were undergraduates.

Alternate for Morocco
FYI: Did a little research and so far have counted 4 people on the alternate list for a research grant to Morocco. (Not ETA).
Have you heard of anyone getting a research grant in Morocco?

I spelled advertised wrong in that graph. Can't edit it.
