DevelopingThoughts Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Anyone else applying to this? Seems to me not many people know about it (or don’t qualify either) but just submitted mine and it feels fantastic, the last “application” of this cycle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csot Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I also applied for this fellowship! I know it's a long shot, but I'm still hoping for the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgot to fill out the personal info form and had to quickly fill it out. Too close. Do we need 4 letters for a competitive application?

I had the same question last year, but I think quality matters a lot more than quantity. I know people who have won the fellowship award with just 3 letters.

kiki_2_4 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I applied. I'm still missing one letter from one of my recommenders and I feel helpless. Good luck to you all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strawberrykat Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 @kiki_2_4 If it's the day of and they agreed to do it, I think it's ok to be persistent. Don't hesitate to call them, send persistent emails, or if you're in the same place, visit their office. kiki_2_4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiki_2_4 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I can't go visit as we're in two different states. I've emailed him daily since the first and he's had some family trouble which I sympathize with, but I asked about this letter in October :( I just feel really let down. I emailed again this morning and he said he would have it in before the deadline, but it's 2:53 and I don't know...That's disheartening. But there's always next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kreedxx94 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 @kiki_2_4 This happened to me last year. My only recommender from my current institution was dealing with personal health issue and misread that it was 5pm eastern standard instead of pacific. I was devastated because my feedback mentioned the lack of recommender from the current institution. This year I managed to get 5 recommenders just in case and told them the deadline was the day before the actual deadline. kiki_2_4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kreedxx94 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I agree that it doesn't seem like many people know of it. I'm the only person in my program applying. I guess that works in our favor, right ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiki_2_4 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 He turned it in at 4:48pm y'all! Cutting it close but still in there! I actually have really high hopes now. I have a strong application I think which is why I was so disappointed at the thought of not being considered. I hope everyone that has posted here is selected. Good luck to you all? strawberrykat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laveritecestla Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Applied to the Predoctoral! Asmaa Elsayed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asmaa Elsayed Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I applied for the Ford PreDoctoral Fellowship as well. PhD in Education Program. Fingers crossed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhDHopeful18 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 I applied for predoctoral. Does anyone know how this works? Does this funding offset your ability to get the usual stipend from your institution? Or can you receive both streams of funding? LisKis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kreedxx94 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 I know at my institution they just make up the difference between my current stipend and the ford. It usually varies per institution. Maybe ask an administrator in the grad school at your institution. LisKis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisKis Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 I applied, the waiting game is rough though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisKis Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Question: If I am awarded and I accept, am I permitted to have outside employment? I know I can't accept a fellowship or assistantship at my Uni unless it supplements but could I have a part time elsewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csot Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Does anyone know if the government shutdown is going to delay when we find out the results? The waiting game is hard as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poliscibi Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 So are we expecting news back at the end of this month? My guess is March 21-29 we'll start to hear responses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devbioboy Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 ^I applied last year and they said "late March" and I remember results being emailed out the last weekday of the month. Also applied again this year! Fingers crossed and good luck to everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
