mmagpie4 Posted April 5, 2012 Posted April 5, 2012 Thanks for finding out! At least we can all put off the anxiety for one more day
mrcrzister Posted April 5, 2012 Posted April 5, 2012 Hello, I heard that Ford fellowships are more "favorable" to under-representative minorities. So anyone know what fractions of black, white, asians got the awards last year?
starmaker Posted April 6, 2012 Posted April 6, 2012 Hello, I heard that Ford fellowships are more "favorable" to under-representative minorities. So anyone know what fractions of black, white, asians got the awards last year? It is specific "severely under-represented" minorities, and they don't exactly hide this in the description. The point of the fellowship is to encourage ethnically/racially diverse role models within the professoriate. The severely under-represented minorites that they specify are Black/African-American, Mexican-American, Puerto Rican, and Native American/Native Alaskan/Native Hawaiian, if I remember correctly. You can win a fellowship without being any of these, but they are quite upfront about the fact that they consider being one of these a plus for their purposes. xiaoma, tauren, abolitionista and 1 other 4

AnnzPB Posted April 6, 2012 Author Posted April 6, 2012 (edited) For those of you who got notifications, are you all getting them through email or are you checking something within the online application? I haven't gotten any emails yet--acceptance, HM, or rejection... :-/ Are they just sending them in batches or something? What the heck... Edited April 6, 2012 by AnnzPB
