Hey folks, I think Biz was just going off of what's currently listed in the spreadsheet, which you can access here:

If you'd like your information added to the spreadsheet, you can send an e-mail to fulbright.12.13@gmail.com and it will get posted with the rest :)

Just did that! Thanks!

I applied as an ETA in the Ukraine and still haven't heard. Have you gotten any news recently?

Those applying ETA/Grant to Ukraine and Russia... think Belarus might be notified at the same time? Eastern Europe all tends to be lopped together...

I am waiting to hear about an ETA Belarus, and I am unsure my heart can take it!

Anyone else recommended for Belarus ??

Thanks!

I haven't heard anything from Ukraine yet, but am hopeful about next week. I hope they don't seperate out the ETAs and Full grants when they notify.

As to Belarus, I believe that the Eastern European committees are seperate, so I don't think geographic proximity is going to be a factor in responses. But I'm just as in the dark as everyone else.

We're in the home stretch. Hang in there!

I am so sorry! but don't lose hope! You live in michigan? do you go to u of michigan?

I go to Michigan State. I didn't think it would be so hard to get that email though. But it's better than a flat out rejection, I suppose. Trying to stay positive.

Not all Eastern European countries have committees. Russia and Ukraine have their own committees but I read on a Fulbright podcast transcript that Belarus, Moldova, Armenia, and Georgia make up the Eurasia regional program (Azerbaijan was included too but they have already heard) and that their grants are decided together.

I was trying to find out if there were any countries other than Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania in the region my application is a part of but I can't seem to find that information. So far it seems most likely that it's only those three.

This makes sense. I sort of had that feigned hope that it would be with Ukraine and Russia, simply because I heard Russia would be finding out soon... Will Latvia be doing the Orientation in DC as well?

On April 3rd, Rachel informed me that Ukraine should know "in the next two weeks".......

Hi Morshinksa,

This is a great piece of information. Thanks for asking Rachel about it. I also applied to Ukraine (full grant) and I'm waiting to hear back. Did you apply for a full grant or ETA?

Latvia doesn't have any ETAs and therefore there is no pre-departure orientation.

And hold tight, last year Armenia and Moldova heard on 4/12 and 4/10 respectively. Any day now!

I totally skipped over that post. Thanks for pointing it out. Of course, that means I'll be even twitchier than usual!

Good for you for staying optimistic! I'm trying to as well, but it's difficult.

Definitely go the optimistic route! For me, I applied to both and was accepted to Germany, but got alternate for Austria so... it's all just a crap-shoot, ya know. But I really do think with all the people who applied to both programs and got accepted to both, a good number of those are gonna choose Germany, so... there ya go.

That is an amazing accomplishment! What program are you looking to pursue?

What should I do?

My deadline to accept the offer to my grad school is the 15th (which is Sunday, so really - do they mean Friday? Or Monday?) I STILL haven't heard re Fulbright (Spain, Full).

I'm going to wait one more day but by tomorrow, I feel like really need to contact my school. It's the only offer I received; it's full funding, with a TA Stipend, and I'm very much interested in working with the professors there.

So what happens? Do I accept the offer and then if I get the Fulbright, ask for a deferral? Should I be upfront and honest with them that I'm waiting to hear back and if I hear, I'll definitely accept? Or do I just accept and then hope like crazy they will defer/be understanding?

ARRRGGHH!!!!

Austria USTA alternates--I'm so sorry, but congrats on becoming an alternate, that is something to be proud of (and according to multiple people, something to also put on a resume!) Over in the Fulbright Germany group on Facebook, there are two or three people who have declined their USTA in favor of Germany, so with any kind of luck you will hear very soon that you've been offered grants! Crossing my fingers for all of you.

Hello Potential Fulbrighters,

I was recommended for a full grant to Trinidad and Tobago. I've been feeling pressed for time since grad school deadlines are on April 15th so I decided to email Pamela and ask her about a potential timeline. I'll keep everyone posted!!!

Haha, Biz, you're the best! I really hope so; I was so surprised Rachel said "mid or late April" because in the past, Armenia has found out the first and second week of April. Hopefully it'll be soon! I just want to knowwwww!

Thank you lkjl.

I have to say, this forum has been the most positive forum experience of my entire life. I feel that I could be good friends with practically every I have come across.
