meaganmna Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 I wonder if they're waiting to hear about budget cuts to determine the number of awardees? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crimsonengineer87 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 I wonder if they're waiting to hear about budget cuts to determine the number of awardees? Hmm, I didn't think about that. Did Obama sign the budget for current fiscal year to September already? I can't remember if he did ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrealphus Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Alright, who's going to call? (I would, but damnit, I have no fingers to dial, and no uvula to pronounce syllables) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medoholic Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 So...does this mean we're alternates? Do they formally send alternate notifications, or just wait for others to turn down and then send acceptances? Either way...the wait continues!!

Do they formally send alternate notifications, or just wait for others to turn down and then send acceptances? Either way...the wait continues!! In previous years they have sent official alternate notifications. I asked in an earlier post if anyone had received an alternate designation, but no response yet. I think maybe we are alternates, although crimsonengineer87 made a good point that perhaps a funding agency or two has been late to declare their awards.

Do we know the deadline that those who received the award have to accept by? That would help us figure things, possibly, if we are alternates. Although, we're such a small pool of candidates it really is hard to say whether we are all alternates or just waiting for a "second wave". I almost wrote "second coming". Haha. BUT it may as well be the second coming! Edited April 22, 2011 by crimsonengineer87 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNeurotic Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 It doesn't actually say. Here is the full text of the email they sent out: Congratulations! You have been selected to receive a 2011 National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate (NDSEG) Fellowship. Your application was selected by the DoD from over 2,900 submitted applications that were received this year. The NDSEG Fellowship is sponsored and funded by the Department of Defense (DoD). NDSEG selections are made by the Air Force Research Laboratory/Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFRL/AFOSR), the Office of Naval Research (ONR), the Army Research Office (ARO), and the DoD High Performance Computing Modernization Program Office (HPCMO). The American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) administers the NDSEG Fellowship. The NDSEG Fellowship will cover your full tuition and required fees for three years at any accredited U.S. college or university that provides advanced degrees in science and engineering. In addition, the NDSEG Fellowship will provide you with a yearly stipend divided into twelve monthly payments. The first year's stipend will be $30,500.00 divided into monthly payments of $2,541.67; the second year's stipend will be $31,000.00 (monthly payments of $2,583.33); and the third year's stipend will be $31,500.00 (monthly payments of $2,625.00). The offer of the NDSEG Fellowship is conditional based upon the availability of funds and the fellow's satisfactory progress towards an advanced degree in science or engineering. You have until Tuesday April 26, 2011 to accept or decline the NDSEG Fellowship offer. In order to respond, please visit the NDSEG award site at http://ndseg.asee.org/award and login using your NDSEG application email/password. This is a very prestigious fellowship and we hope you will accept the offer. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact ASEE at (202) 649-3831 or by email at NDSEG@asee.org. We will be happy to assist you. Congratulations once again! Well, if this is the same thing all the winners got looks like we might have to wait until next Wednesday at the EARLIEST!

crimsonengineer87 Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Ugh. I hope it's not Wednesday. That day seems so far away. But we'd better hear by the end of April ... if not ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medoholic Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 So I guess it might be Wednesday... or maybe sooner ... or maybe later...who knows... I do think this could be a good sign for those of us still waiting though... Seems we have 2 theories: either we are alternates, waiting for others to decline, OR we are part of a department that hasn't given their answers yet / finalized their budget. Either way, I think it's a positive sign that we were not part of the mass rejection. Maybe just wishful thinking though. I guess we'll just have to keep waiting. I hope we get some positive news soon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meaganmna Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I still haven't heard of anyone in Oceanography who has heard "yes".... only "no".... so maybe this is a good sign?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNeurotic Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Those who have not year heard should email. I didn't receive the fellowship, but that doesn't mean others won't. ndseg@asee.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
