SSRC DPDF

[Nofia1]

I know the SSRC is not going to announce winners of the DPDF until the end of the month/beginning of next month, but the waiting is always so hard! Has anyone else applied? Or received one of the fellowships in previous years?

I applied for the DPDF but haven't heard anything yet. I'm assuming we'll hear within the next two weeks or so since they're posting fellows on their website at the beginning of April. I know from people who applied in the past that rejections have come through the mail but I'm not sure how they notify for acceptances.

At least some DPDF acceptances came out today. I only know because one of my colleagues received one.

[Nofia1]

oh! do you know if they received their acceptances by post or by email?

[rising_star]

I assume it was by email but I can't be sure. I can tell you that it was to the "Spaces of Inquiry" DPDF call.

Thank you for the info! I'll have to keep my fingers crossed; I applied in a different research field, so perhaps there is still hope.

It appears like the "Virtual Worlds" research field has notified accepted students:

I wonder if the acceptances to all fields are out by now and if they are notifying via email or snail-mail. I am positive rejections come via snail-mail because that is the way it works for other SSRC fellowships. Does anyone know something else or about anyone else being notified?

FYI, all DPDF notices were mailed Monday 15 via U.S. mail. Anxiously waiting for mine... I need closure.

Hey, you need not to mourn: apparently rejections and acceptances were mailed. They did not necessarily contact all accepted students beforehand or else we would pretty much know by now, don't you think? So here's to opening SSRC's letter and good luck!!!

oh, well then, that changes everything! Good luck to you as well--I'll be sure to post once I receive my letter. My fingers are crossed for both of us!

Bummer, SSRC rejection letter in the mail today. My advisers and I thought my proposal was very strong, but that's how things roll sometimes.

Good luck to you all!

same here, sadly, but you're right, that is just how things go sometimes. On to the next application and better luck to all of us for next time!
