topcat84 Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 (edited) Dear NDSEG, Tell us now! Do you understand the gravity of the situation you have put yourself in? As the rule of the playground dictates...there are a LOT more of us than of you! I hope that clears things up. Sincerely, Grad cafe members Edited April 16, 2011 by topcat84 topcat84 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etale Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 It would have been nice when I called if the operator at least told me that she didn't know when they would be releasing decisions. Giving us a definite answer and then leaving that promise unfulfilled somehow doesn't surprise me though, considering we're dealing with a federal graduate fellowship program.

maclane Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Is there any reason to believe they'll actually send out the e-mails on Monday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

green31OSU Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 I'm curious to know why more people aren't posting...granted, we are much fewer than NSF, but still... Yeah. Any notification will be sent to my gmail, so it would show up almost instantaneously after they send it...and I still don't have anything.

jendoly Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 I got my notification at 3:33 EDT. Thanks! Was that an acceptance or not? (Sorry to pry - curious if they're doing one set before the others or mixing it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeuroJoeBruin Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Thanks! Was that an acceptance or not?

Haha, I feel you - don't quite want to believe it or I won't get ANYTHING done until I hear (second day in a row) Anyone want to C&P their letter for further proof?

NeuroJoeBruin Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 who was the award from? airforce, navy... 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! Ed_UCR and kkompiles 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jendoly Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 (edited) Wow, assuming 200 awards, that's a <7% acceptance rate. EDIT: I wonder if they're sending them out in batches by research category. Joe, were you and your friend in the same field? Edited April 16, 2011 by jendoly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe, were you and your friend in the same field? Yes, we are both in cognitive neuroscience so it could very well be by category. kkompiles and Ed_UCR 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cogneuroforfun Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Yes, we are both in cognitive neuroscience so it could very well be by category. I applied to that category and have received no notification yet, so who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jendoly Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 I applied to that category and have received no notification yet, so who knows. Shoot, there goes that theory. What fields were our other two notify-ees in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
