bayesianista Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Aren't they on California time? So ... maybe later ... ? I'm on California time here, it's almost 4 pm. Just gave NPSC a call but no answer :/ I wonder whether we should be treating today as a hard deadline on hearing about acceptances, or whether that was just her rough estimate when I called last week ... I also have no idea if rejections would be sent out at the same time or later. God this is frustrating! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rufusjbuttlicker Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 (edited) I see in 2012 a person heard back on April 12th. This fellowship is so mysterious to me, the website is sooo backwards and unhelpful. Can anyone remember how to even login to the application? Â Edit: Found it:Â https://npsc.onlineapplications.net/applications/main.asp. Still says "In Review".

geographyrocks Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Errr...did anyone notice that they have different eligibility rules as in: Be in a terminal master's program (your university offers no Ph.D. in your discipline). And Be returning from the workforce I did not see those when I applied! https://www.npsc.org/Applicants/Applicants/fellowshipinfo.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bayesianista Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 just called them and they said "notifications will go out in the next couple of weeks" NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS you guys i can't even Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaac1 Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 they just emailed me it is coming out "soon" so I guess that meant weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepsico Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 So the top of their homepage has the following message   NEWS ALERT: NPSC has made its awards for 2015. Thanks to all our applicants. Remember that our fellowship awards depend not only on academic merit, but also on how many fellows our partners are able to support and on an applicant’s field of interest.   Congrats to any of you who received it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rufusjbuttlicker Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Did anyone hear anything? lol, I saw nothing in my email and it still says "In Review", granted, that doesn't mean much because this fellowship is managed very oddly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geographyrocks Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 This is a really odd notification system. I've heard nothing which makes me wonder if they sent notifications out using telepathy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaac1 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Does anyone know how many people usually win? I can't find any statistics for this fellowship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepsico Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 (edited) I think I saw that they had 66 current fellows. Assuming that graduation rates are around 6 years, there are about 11 fellows each year. I think awards also go to MA or MS students so the numbers are rough. As far as number of awards vs number of fellows who accept them, not sure. Edited April 17, 2015 by pepsico Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaac1 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Thanks. I think it's time to call this a ding for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geographyrocks Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 (edited) You would think they would send out rejection emails with the acceptances. Or they lied on their page. Has anyone heard anything at all?  Edited to add: Apparently you can get the applicant list for free. No wonder I received so much spam after I applied. I'm still irritated by that.

rufusjbuttlicker Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I think unless you win, you just don't hear anything. I remember reading a blog of someone who had won NSF and hadn't heard anything back from NPSC even by May. Alternatively, you can try contacting them?

ERR_Alpha Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Quick question for you all- how were you planning on doing the summers working while doing a PhD? I know my advisor would probably not go for it... Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bposadas Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Is this the most current thread for the NPSC fellowship? I notice for the other popular fellowships a new thread is started every year, but this is the only one I could find for NPSC. Anyone here apply for 2016??

f_lit Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Hey bposadas, yeah this is the only NPSC thread I see. Seems like some bigger ones (like NSF) get a new thread every year. I applied for 2016 and am eagerly awaiting results as well... It seems like results for all other fellowships and whatnot are coming out early this year, so it kinda makes me more anxious... Xjay101 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had given up on this thread, and just checked in today! I haven't heard a thing, good or bad, from NPSC. If I don't hear back this week, I was going to contact them.

Biochemist Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 I have not heard anything thus far either. Have you checked the portal to see your application status? Mine still says "In review," however, I am going to assume it is a no since it is so late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
