karahead Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Here is a copy of the email: Good morning – We have been notified that the Fulbright National Screening Committee results will be distributed tomorrow, Friday, January 18th by the end of the day. It is not clear what end of the day means, but probably 5:00 p.m. EST since the results are coming out of NYC. You will receive an email so be sure to check the email account that you provided on your Fulbright application. The email will tell you whether or not you have been recommended. Please note: Recommendation indicates that the applicant will receive further consideration by the host country, the FSB and the Department of State. It is not an award notification. If you are recommended, you will then receive a review from the host country and will be notified in the spring, likely between March and May, whether or not you have been awarded a Fulbright grant. If you are not recommended to be reviewed by a host country, then your application will not be considered further. Although I am supposed to receive an email with your results as well, that system was very spotty last year so please contact me when you receive your notification. My fingers are crossed for all of you. Thank you for your tremendous hard work and good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here'sHopin'! Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Here is a copy of the email: Good morning – We have been notified that the Fulbright National Screening Committee results will be distributed tomorrow, Friday, January 18th by the end of the day. It is not clear what end of the day means, but probably 5:00 p.m. EST since the results are coming out of NYC. Hm, that sounds pretty definite. Though we saw an actual copy of what the committee sent to all the FPA's, and it didn't actually say on Friday- it said by Friday at the end of the day. Splitting hairs, I know. Any whos, I keep telling myself that IT DOESNT MATTER- I'LL KNOW SOON ENOUGH, but I don't believe myself. I am still anxious to just know as soon as possible!

Because supposedly those were released the day after last year; also, since someone already posted the email the FPAs got, I think your FPA might have misinterpreted the email to mean it's specifically this Friday, when it doesn't say that in the original email...

Yes, I am an ETA applicant. I have not read the email that was sent to the FPAs so it is possible that she misinterpreted. That would be really awesome if she did misinterpret and we find out today!

Dre4Birdy Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Hey guys! Long time lurker, first time poster, but wanted to join in and say I'm waiting anxiously for news on my full grant as well! Good luck to all of you. I love this statement, as it applies to me as well. I'm grateful for this little commuinity of waiting applicants! Sending positive energy out there for everyone and no matter what the results, trust that it's for the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jahanzlik Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I just searched through last years forum and the year before that. It looks like Full grants get announced some time today, after 5pm though. Then ETAs tomorrow. Apparently everyone goes a little nuts every year waiting. They have been consistent for at least two years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Fulbright thought it would be fun to announce it the same day two years in a row and then wait until the next day in the 3rd year. They have a very dark sense of humor. I had too much coffee today, cant sit still. Their needs to be a short survivors guide to finding out your Fulbright status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
