Well, it turns out that unfortunately this year's fellows will actually be the last. The Mellon foundation has stopped funding the program. For clarity, if you applied this year, you can still win funding. But there will be no application this fall or thereafter.

Here's the announcement: https://www.ssrc.org/programs/idrf/idrf-announcement/

Absolute tragedy and a huge loss for international students. This was one of the few big ones that allowed non-US citizens. 

I interestingly noted that they hadn't increased the award amount in over 12 years. Perhaps that should have been seen as a red flag.

Congratulations!

Did your letter say how many awards were issued this year?

Yes it did. Here is a direct quote "You are one of sixty provisional awardees, selected from a total of 870 submitted applications from graduate students at 112 universities. This year's awardees represent thirty-one universities and fourteen disciplines."

There is a PETITION circulating asking SSRC & Melon to reinstate the IDRF grant. I’ve signed.

Are any other rejected finalists still waiting to get feedback on their application? I sent an email to the IDRF a week ago and haven't heard back.
