Right now there is a small possibility that programs in Taiwan and South Korea will be held in-person. I'm keeping my fingers crossed! anchko 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thediesel Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Nothing yet for Mandarin. I imagine they're slowly going through the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snow_owl Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 (edited) Nothing for Russian yet either. Congrats to the finalists who've received results already! Edit: Looks like program sites for all languages are up on the website, although they say in a press release that the majority of programs will be virtual.

thediesel Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Damn, alternate for Mandarin. Better than a rejection I suppose, but it still means I can't solidify my summer plans. ohdunk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am unsure, I am not sure if programs being virtual will impact people's decisions to accept the award. On previous threads, there has been mention about alternates being made finalists. anidasm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey Shepard Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Finalist for Persian! Also very disappointed because we would have learned both Farsi and Tajik. Any other Persian finalists/alternates out here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was really hoping to learn both as well, and of course wanted to get the fully immersive experience. I accepted still though since this is my best chance to gain more levels of proficiency in Persian. Would you consider applying again next year?
