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/ml/arabic/Fellowships%20and%20National%20Awards/fellowships_and_national_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.
