Elli389 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Well, it looks like nobody has started discussing the reinstated FH yet... Does anyone have a clue about when the results will be announced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
br0chette Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 i've been told september. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elli389 Posted July 6, 2012 Author Share Posted July 6, 2012 Did you hear that from the D of E, or from someone at your school? I was wildly guessing that it would be in August. This is because I was told recipients have to jump through a lot of (time-consuming) hoops in order to get travel clearance, and the research period starts October 1st. If you have any more information, I would be very happy to hear it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
br0chette Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 I was told by Amy Wilson at Fulbright-Hays. She recommended getting IRB and other such things in order ahead of time for anyone with proposals starting in Oct or Nov. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
br0chette Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 She also suggested not making plans for travel in early October: "We will make offers and awards in September. Though the institutional period starts October 1, if you are successful, I would not plan on traveling until mid-month due to the paperwork, processing and approvals that are needed to be obtained before travel."

Elli389 Posted August 10, 2012 Author Share Posted August 10, 2012 OK, so the report is that there won't be news until September. That hasn't stopped me from already starting to keep an eye out. Aren't there any other applicants here??? I'd like to have someone to worry with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archnerd128 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I am starting to bite my nails as well, but I have not received any information. To my understanding there is a two-stage approval process where first your app is approved by a US committee and then forwarded to the country that you have selected to work in for their approval. I was once told that we would find out if our apps were approved by the US committee, but as I haven't heard anything, I am beginning to have my doubts. Does anyone know anything about this?

Elli389 Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 Hey archnerd, thanks for popping in, I was getting lonely. As far as a I can tell, that two step process applies to Fulbright but not sure about Fulbright-Hays. I can't really find any info about about FH, how the applications get processed, etc. online. Have you found anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elli389 Posted August 15, 2012 Author Share Posted August 15, 2012 Who are all of you rascals who are looking at this thread but not sharing info/anxiety? Shame on you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moinonplus1 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Hey y'all -- since I applied last year, I thought I'd chime in. Notifications for the F-Hays are are all sent out in an excel sheet on the same day to your grad director -- e.g. rejectees, grantees, and alternates will all find out at the same time. Your school's F-Hays director will then go through the spreadsheet and contact people with regards to their status (you won't actually hear anything from the people in D.C. -- they communicate almost exclusively with your school reps). There might in fact be a two-step process, but if so it happens behind closed doors. In other words: you won't know anything until you know something, and that'll be on the same day that everyone else knows something, too. ------------------------------- I am starting to bite my nails as well, but I have not received any information.

archnerd128 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Thanks for the info moinonplus1 and Elli389. Hopefully we will be hearing some news soon. Good luck to both of you and let us all know what happens! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moinonplus1 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 one more thing i forgot to mention: the evaluations are also sent to your grad director, and not to you indivdually. so, if you want to take a look at them, be sure to email your university rep...

Elli389 Posted August 21, 2012 Author Share Posted August 21, 2012 I just came across this on the Michigan State website. Of course the timing refers to the normal FH cycle, not the peculiar timing for this year: (It's from http://www.isp.msu.e...a_deadlines.htm) November-December Review of the Fulbright-Hays DDRA applications by multidisciplinary review committees convened in the United States by the Fulbright-Hays DDRA Program to screen applicants and recommend candidates. January-March Review of the Fulbright-Hays DDRA recommended candidates by Fulbright Binational Commissions or by the Public Affairs Section of U.S. Embassy abroad, together with prospective host institutions. March-April Results of the national international Fulbright-Hays DDRA screenings are forwarded to the J. William Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board. May-June Review and official selection of award winners by the J. William Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elli389 Posted August 26, 2012 Author Share Posted August 26, 2012 Somehow I managed not to see this page before...you have all probably already looked at this, but: http://ecfr.gpoacces....3.1.31&idno=34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elli389 Posted August 31, 2012 Author Share Posted August 31, 2012 FYI: spoke to Amy Wilson today and she seems to have no idea when in September the results will be announced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archnerd128 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Thanks for looking into that. I just want the decisions announced soon! Waiting is the worst! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
br0chette Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Hm, not a great sign. She'd probably have an idea if they were going to be announced, say, on the Sept 1st date I'd been hoping for... Sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elli389 Posted August 31, 2012 Author Share Posted August 31, 2012 I know! I assume that rules out next week, which she probably would have known. I even asked her if it would be the first half of September or the second half. She said she had no idea but that she hoped it would be the first half because "the awards have to be made by September 27th." Not sure what that means? People will be told the results and have to accept or decline by the 27th? Sorry my research hasn't turned out to be very helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moinonplus1 Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 (edited) I think that your right in thinking it means people have to accept/decline by 27 Sept., since the start date of the grant is technically 1 Oct. Hopefully that means that they'll try to expedite the final announcement.... good luck to all. Edited September 1, 2012 by moinonplus1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mezameyo Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 My university's rep said that she heard from the D of Ed that announcements would be sent out by the end of this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sridt Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 A second for waiting is the worst! Does anyone have any idea of the percent of awards/grants available per region/ any stats on who gets the grant and who doesn't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
segundulla22 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 fwiw, i asked the grant admin at my school today and he said he was 'guessing' that it would be closer to october. let's hope he's wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moinonplus1 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 hmm... so either the end of this week, or the end of the month. Either way, looks like we're in for a painful homestretch of waiting.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mezameyo Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I told my rep about the prevailing uncertainty on this board, and she said that she would talk to Amy tomorrow to find out what is going on. So, hopefully either we'll have the actual decisions tomorrow, or at least a clearer idea as to when we'll get those. (But because of time zone difference, I may not be able to report here until tomorrow night US time.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
