I was going to ask the same thing! Anyone thinking about emailing again or calling?

Anyone hear back from emailing NDSEG? I saw NSF GRFP came out today. Good luck to all those who applied 🥰

I got HM from NSF, so I’m really hoping for NDSEG. I have not received a reply to my email. I tried calling and it went straight to voicemail.

Congrats on HM! I unfortunately didn't get anything on NSF, so really hoping for NDSEG too! With the 2nd round update, I feel hopeful

Lol I haven't gotten a response to my email either. Who knows at this point 

[swimminggradstudent]

Did anyone else also apply for SMART? I am hoping they come out relatively close together. SMART is rumored to come out next Monday.

[confessionsofaphysicsgeek]

I did SMART as an undergrad. I wouldn’t recommend it for a PhD… google SMART scholarship forum and you’ll find a lot of info about people’s experiences.

I hope it comes out today, so I can stop worrying about fellowships and actually do my research...Last year, notifications started at about 6 PM ET on Wed March 30th.

[indy101]

Strong chance it could, I think last year they did Wed - Fri for acceptance notifications, and then mass rejections a few days later?

Haha I feel you. I have been constantly checking for updates for like 2 weeks. I hope it comes out today, but I still think it will be another week or so. 

[fellowshipstress]

I guess today is not the day…hopefully it comes out this week.

[indy101]

Maybe they just didn't want to clash with NSF , making today and tomorrow likely.

I called and they said they would release the acceptance notifications next week.

Did they give a specific date or just at some point next week? 

[indy101]

If I had to guess, the wednesday-friday timeline could be like last year?

[fellowshipstress]

I'm honestly surprised they answered the phone. I keep getting automatically sent to voicemail. They haven't even answered my email I sent a week ago.

[swimminggradstudent]

SMART came out! Good thing NDSEG comes out next week because you only get until April 17th to accept.

SMART increased their stipends to $46,000 for PhD students I wonder if NDSEG will increase theirs as well?

NDSEG increased it not too long ago from 38.4K to 40.8K. Maybe it could increase a little bit again but 46K seems like a big jump. What was the SMART stipend amount before the increase?

It was $38k as of last years awards.

[fellowshipstress]

I finally got a reply to my email for them to say ‘early April’.  That’s even less helpful than the information someone got last week by calling. I wonder why they aren’t being as helpful with the timeline this year. Hopefully it comes out soon.

I haven't had any updates since Oct 31st, where I moved to subject matter experts panel review. Does that mean I didn't move to the final review and therefore won't be receiving a fellowship?

If when you go to my applications, and you don’t see STATUS: 2nd Round Reviews - DOD panel, the chances are slim. It would be present above the “submitted” statement and green check mark. Under the updates, everyone’s says forwarded to SME panel review. The updates we are taking about are on the last edited date which is under the preview section.
