CeXra Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 I'm really praying. Last year the results were announced March 22nd. So we got a bit a way to go before we know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleEye602 Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 I also applied this cycle. Hoping for the best since this is the last official year they are awarding fellowships! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antidisestablishmentariani Posted February 11, 2023 Author Share Posted February 11, 2023 I know! March 22nd is like years away! I was hoping that talking about it on a forum would make the time go by faster: we can at least commiserate together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDGS Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 I also applied for the predoc! Technically next year is the last year, but they will also be giving less fellowships next year. https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2022/09/20/ford-foundation-end-diverse-fellowship-program Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleEye602 Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 (edited) When I emailed the application contact back in December, I was told that they cannot guarantee that awards will be given in 2024. I am hoping for the best, but "limited" is not a promising word anyways since only 75 predoctoral awards are given to 1900 applicants each year.

antidisestablishmentariani Posted February 19, 2023 Author Share Posted February 19, 2023 I tried to search for humanities review panel, but I couldn't find anything. I'll keep looking and will post it here if I find anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopingnwishing Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 this is completely speculative, but the application portal says we will be notified in April ?. do you think this is because of the influx of apps this cycle or is it just to cover their basis?

EagleEye602 Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 (edited) They received about 2800 applications this year across all levels, which is largely similar to recent previous years. From past threads, April appears to be a soft deadline that they use to be on the safe side, but a lot of people seem to hear about their results in March. Honestly, I do not plan on worrying about it too much. Although I might start periodically check in mid-March when my anxiety increases ten-fold!

antidisestablishmentariani Posted March 7, 2023 Author Share Posted March 7, 2023 Oh dear, this is starting to feel like when I was applying to grad school! Lol. I checked the Ford website, for no reason really. But I'm getting into that weird head space where you check in on the portal randomly, knowing there will be no info there.

EagleEye602 Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 (edited) So, I have an idea... To help with our anxiety and potential rejection during this process, do you guys want to list some songs that you use to motivate yourself during/after a bad day, etc.? For example, I will go with "Gotta Keep Your Head Up" (Andy Grammer) and "Our World"(CAMPFIRE). What songs help you guys stay positive? Feel free to add more!

antidisestablishmentariani Posted March 10, 2023 Author Share Posted March 10, 2023 I love this! For me it's Shake it Off, Taylor Swift! Lol. EagleEye602 and CeXra 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeXra Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 That's my girl, Fifth Harmony, lol The song helps me keep going despite the results. I think that applying for fellowships is a grand feat in itself. We should all be proud of completing our application, despite the results. Best wishes to us all of course.

Always good to have that mindset, even if it is hard to realize that in the moment. CeXra 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDGS Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Quick question: I recently received a FLAS Summer fellowship this month, is it worth adding to my honors and awards section this late into the app? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably wont make a difference. From my understanding the decisions have already been made (panels convened about decisions a few weeks ago). We are now just waiting for the results to be posted next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
