Norway2011 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Hey there Salt, dare we join in on filling up Rachel's e-mail inbox? Anyone for Norway on here? Has anyone heard anything from Rachel since Monday? Hoping maybe they got sent out later on in the week.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkc Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I did not apply to Iceland, but I applied to Norway. Funny enough I did not apply for ASF, which in hindsight was really not a smart move. I do not know what I was thinking, but my plans were much less clear back then. Did you apply for ASF, and any other scandinavian applicants out there? Good luck, hopefully we will hear soon! All Norway people had heard back by this time last year Hi Norway! It's definitely tough to plan so far in advance and juggle all the different grant/academic applications at once - it seems like something always slip by and you later think "if only I'd gone for that then everything would have been perfect..." I got excited when I started to see the Finland notifications trickle in, but I'm guessing there's no Nordic unity when it comes to Fulbright notifications. Good luck!!

salt Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Hey there Salt, dare we join in on filling up Rachel's e-mail inbox? Hey, Don't know why it didn't occur to me to share this earlier but I emailed Rachel and she got back to me on March 17 with this: "We're still waiting on a confirmation of budget, so although selections have been made, we won't be issuing notifications for another 1-2 weeks at least."

Ah! Thank you! I guess since all the other Iceland applicants have been silent bystanders (myself included until now) it might have seemed like there wasn't an audience. Best of luck to you!

Lizziey Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Another Iceland applicant here. I applied to the ASF grant also and haven't received my letter yet, so am on pins and needles for both! Has anyone received a successful ASF Grant yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
est Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 I applied for an ASF to Norway, but I got the letter two days ago stating I didn't get it Hopefully that is not the case for Fulbright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

srasnak Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Just have to ask – has anyone heard anything about when letters for India will be sent out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C. Blake Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 I also caved and e-mailed J. Jones and asked about Morocco notifications and about the status of the program for next year because of all the unrest in the Middle East. I'm sure Morocco is fine, but maybe he'll mention something about the status of other programs in the Middle East. I'll let you guys know if he does! Last year Morocco applicants heard around 3/10-3/15, so hopefully soon. Ahh. hey, i emailed the country rep (in israel) about potential decision dates and whether the mid east unrest would affect my project; she said she was "not at liberty" to respond to any of my questions and forwarded them to jj. he responded by saying i could expect a response between now and june and that he didn't know any more. he said none of the current fulbrighters had been affected by the turmoil and so didn't think it would hold up this year's decisions...can you let me know what he says about morocco?

mthedoor Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Hi all! I have a quick question for award recipients (congrats, by the way!): did your campus advisers know about your acceptance before or after you did? Do they receive some sort of notification from IIE? From the host country? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crimsonengineer87 Posted March 25, 2011 Author Share Posted March 25, 2011 Hi all! I have a quick question for award recipients (congrats, by the way!): did your campus advisers know about your acceptance before or after you did? Do they receive some sort of notification from IIE? From the host country? Thanks! They have no idea because awards/notification come via snail mail to your current address (or it seems to be mostly current address). Plus, not all applicants applied through their university. I'm not sure if they receive some sort of notification AFTER the fact, but I could ask my advisor.

Bluedevil Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 An excerpt from an email from my fulbright advisor's office: "We have heard that Fulbright has begun notifying students. Since we do not usually get notification until all of the countries have made their decisions, would it be possible for you to let us know when you have heard from them?" So no, they do not find out until after all decisions have been made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweety11226 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Actually I heard the advisor can call Fulbright if they know someone to get a response about their students . It depends who you know in the office and if the country of interest had finally meet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 (edited) Another Iceland applicant here. I applied to the ASF grant also and haven't received my letter yet, so am on pins and needles for both! Has anyone received a successful ASF Grant yet? I received an ASF award for 20K to Sweden three days ago, so they should be out in the mail now. The letter said I have three weeks to respond. Has anyone else applied for a Fulbright to Sweden? Good luck to all! Edited March 25, 2011 by megomental Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norway2011 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Just wanted to let all Norway applicants out there know, I just called Rachel and she said "we are mailing some Norway letters today"!! Hopefully some of us will be hearing the news early next week!! AHH can't stand the waiting!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muscndanz Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 (edited) Congratulations to everyone who has received awards!! For those who did not receive an award, I hope you find that nothing was lost in this process. . . Those still w a i t i n g... may you have an answer soon! Any other grantees waiting to receive US medical clearance?? I am wondering how long this process takes. I heard from Austria they will submit grant authorization documents once they have clearance.

I promised myself I would only email him once a month from now on so he doesn't feel that I'm harassing him So I have to wait a few more weeks before I bother him again. any news on the middle east is appreciated!

crimsonengineer87 Posted March 25, 2011 Author Share Posted March 25, 2011 To German grantees (full grant), if you weren't selected for a language course, you might be able to still snag a spot if you email them using the email provided in the second letter you receive. I think ETAs need to be proficient, but full research grantees just need to have a "basic proficiency". While I've had German classes, it's been a while and so I just emailed them to see if I could get into it! So if are interested, I'd just email them. There's no harm in asking! Also, remember to schedule a physical exam when you receive your award b/c they want to receive the medical clearance form within three weeks of when you receive the letter!

las1987 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Hi all! I've been reading this for weeks and figured its about time to join in.

Loli Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 ANOTHER PERSON FOR SOUTH AFRICA! Finally! have you heard anything at all about what or when we should be expecting? Are you doing full grant or ETA? south africa here, and i'm an undergrad history major. you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irreducible Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 There was an update on fulbright.ie saying the Irish awardees would be announced shortly so I assume that means those hoping to come to Ireland will be notified very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzz Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Ranita- he only responsed saying Morocco notifications are still pending and has no idea when they'll be in (he said hopefully within the month). He didn't answer my other question about the status of the program, damnit. I don't want to bother him again by asking again lol... Oh well... at least I feel like I can calm down a bit now with checking the mail. I'll allow myself to start worrying again in a month. Until then, hopefully I'll be pleasantly surprised to find something in the mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cm487906 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Hello everyone. Congrats to those who have heard. I never even thought of looking for a Fulbright Forum until today. I'm a finalist for a Korean ETA award. I'm hoping to find out soon, along with everyone. Thanks for all of the helpful information that I've read so far. Good luck everyone.

roland4102 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Hi everyone, I'm glad to know I'm not the only one obsessing over hearing about getting accepted or not! Driving me crazy... I am a finalist for the Indonesia ETA program. Anyone else in the same boat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myacu Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Just emailed Jonathan Akeley for East Asia. Wasn't able to give me any concrete dates but he said that Korea ETA have been released early to mid April (just like last year's spreadsheet) so I guess we have only a few more weeks to go...
