gl Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Just opened up my letter- it was business sized with one sheet of paper so I was suspicious from the beginning. It said I'm officially and alternate to Germany for the ETA program (which means 6 to 8 more weeks of waiting!) I just don't know if I can take that much more suspense...

adg29 Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 To those waiting to hear about a research Fulbright to Germany - I emailed Charles Restrepo on April 2 and he said that I would receive notification of my status within 7-10 business days (that would mean hearing, at the latest, by April 17 - but I live on the East Coast near New York, so hopefully much sooner than that). So it definitely sounds like we'll be getting letters in the mail shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adg29 Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Also, has anyone heard about a research grant to Switzerland or France? I have classmates who applied to those countries and who haven't heard anything yet. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Owl Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 So it is Monday- How many people are chasing down the mailman today? I'm waiting on the Netherlands and I'm a non-traditional student.

cnsteel Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Hi Folks -- I've just received note from IEE that I've been awarded a Research Grant to Ecuador. Last week I was an alternate, and as of today's mail, I'm in (same manilla envelope that everyone else seems to have received). Very excited here! Would love to connect with the other FB Ecuador folks who have posted. Best, c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukbound16 Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Has anyone heard anything from the UK yet? I'm freaking out because I know people have said that they only mail letters out on Wednesdays for Europe but I was just wondering if anyone had gotten accepted yet.

fb2008 Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Dear Friends- I am very humbled and happy to say I received news that I've won a Fulbright to the UK. Thank you for the great support and insight I have gained from all of you during this anxious time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maybe77 Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 congrats to the UK people i didn't get it - not too shocked though it was nice to be a finalist. i won't be applying next year as i will still be going to England next year for research for a few months in the spring. i'm at the research stage of my dissertation so no point to applying again the year later ...

sydneyviscous Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Hello All, I just thought I'd let German applicants know that I received a letter from New York notifying me I am an alternate to Germany for the Research Grant. I live on the West Coast and they wrote that all grantees should know shortly, if not simultaneously. Good luck to everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I applied to Nepal and I'm dying to know..they called me after I applied and asked me if I would be interested in anyother south asian countries..so how knows where I could end up..I just wanna know i applied to a research grant in Nepal, and i still haven't heard. about 2 weeks ago i was told applicants to Nepal would be notified in mid-April, so i think we still have 1-2 weeks of waiting left. did they really call you and ask if you would be interested in other South Asian countries? that seems like a really strange thing to ask... and i never got a phone call of any kind.

Johanna Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 To anyone else who got good news from the Fulbright Commission regarding an ETA in Germany, I have a question. You know how they told us we need to write or email both the Fulbright Commission and PAD to tell them we're accepting the grant? Well, who exactly should we email? There's what appears to be a general email address for Fulbright in Germany, but there's no contact info for the PAD. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
