moussdutoxx Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 So just to be clear , no general applicant to either scholarship or fellowship has received a second budget email? I wonder why it’s like that this year if that is the case. Also today for the decisions!?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SportPhD Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 General fellowship applicant to Tanzania, one budget email on March 19th. No second budget email. They may have just streamlined the process, or maybe the applicant pool size has an affect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then over this summer June-August, if anyone else is going to be there! I applied there as well, starting in level 2. What level are you? Are you going with CLS this summer or another program?

I'll be going directly through Qasid for the Summer Term and I will be testing into a level (most likely 2) and taking the supplemental Ammiya course as well sab333 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnapesOnAPlane Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Hello friends, I applied for SAFLI. I have received 2 budget emails. The first email was to confirm and/or update my budget. The second email, received on March 28th, instructed me to further confirm my budget information. I think the 2-email-acceptance theory is a fallacy. My budget information wasn't detailed and so I believe that is why I was sent a second email. [Because I'm a slacker] Good luck everyone :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnapesOnAPlane Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Oh, I'm also doing CLS this summer so I hope to see some of you at the orientation in Washington D.C!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllieJohn Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Hello, I'm an AFLI fellowship applicant to Tanzania. I've received two budget emails. The first on March 18 and the second on March 27. I also got a follow up email on April 2 asking some additional questions about my budget. Any other AFLI applicants receive the second budget email? I'm ready for this waiting to be over....

CS135 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Hey Allie, I applied as an AFLI scholarship applicant in Tanzania and received two budget emails as you described. This waiting is killing me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All research I've done has pointed to this being positively correlated with being accepted. Perhaps all AFLI applicants receive two budget emails? Wishing us both good luck!

I'm wondering if only flagship programs get two budget emails. I'm anxious about the fact that I haven't gotten one. I am a general scholarship applicant, no flagship program.

rachel8512 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I think the 2 budget email thing might not exist this year (at least I hope not) because the budget email I received first made it seem like it was not sent to everyone, so it might just be an indication that we made it through some cuts. Not sure if anyone here didn’t receive a budget email like that though. yallabye and sab333 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllieJohn Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Moussdutoxx, That could be the case. It seems like most flagship applicants from this thread have received a second budget email, but general applicants have not (after a cursory glance).

We want to be very clear that not all applicants receiving this message will be awarded." I was under the impression it was sent to everyone. Did yours say this? Also, thank you to both for your responses! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllieJohn Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Both of my budget emails had that same statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grob33 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I know that last year not everyone received the budget email because my friend never received one and was rejected. Not sure about this year though. kankoushitai 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rachel8512 Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 If everyone here for the general scholarship just received the first email then I guess we really have no indication of what’ll happen on Monday or Tuesday ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FailureToComprehend Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Going to wade into the discussion. Applying to Boren Fellowship. From last year's it looks like Monday around 1:30pm the first acceptances went out. Banking on that again this year. co0311, sab333 and kankoushitai 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you combine SAFLI participation and the CLS program? The summer portion is theoretically at the UW Madison site if I'm correct. Do they make an exception for CLS awardees?
