Tiffany B Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Thanks y'all! And to those of you in Colombia -- let's arrange some visits!! Yes!!! I want to visit Venezuela! It's on my list of countries. When does your grant start?
Torrid Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Argentina ETAs, I would definitely expect some movement on the ETA list. I have a friend that applied to the ETA and was recommended, but she has since already decided that she wants to stay in her current city and take a stable job rather than head to South America. I'm not even sure if she was awarded the grant (my guess is should would have been a strong candidate though); regardless, with decisions coming in this late, my guess is that she's not the only person who already decided to commit to something else.
Amiller0622 Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 THE KID GOT A (P); ARGENTINA!!! Looks like my work email quarantined the email because it thought it was a virus! What a sick, sick joke! Best prank ever. I couldn't be more thrilled! sirmixalot 1
Neurovivor Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Congrats, everyone! Is that all the countries then?
sirmixalot Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Congrats, everyone! Is that all the countries then? I remember someone in the forum was waiting for Oman last week. Don't know if they've heard back
GnosisExchange Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 I remember someone in the forum was waiting for Oman last week. Don't know if they've heard back I feel so bad for everyone that still hasn't heard. It must be exhausting to wait this long.
mhm223 Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 I remember someone in the forum was waiting for Oman last week. Don't know if they've heard back NOOOO!! I haven't heard back yet!! I'm still waiting to hear back from Oman!

Shogun1 Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 To all the grant winners in the group....Have any of you received more information about the actual amount of funding you will receive? visa information? etc? When would the Fulbright offices typically send that information out?
Neurovivor Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 (edited) I got a letter stamped, signed, and sealed straight from my country several weeks ago with instructions on what to do next (basically had to sign some forms and mail them off to NYC and Spain). I should be getting login information to the official Fulbright Spain page that is supposed to have everything on it, when my form arrives back in Spain. Gotta wait till early June for the visa app because you can only apply up to 90 days before you leave, but I should start with the criminal background check I think...? Scanned in my medical form and release form last week as well. And should be doing my official transcript here in a few days. Idk it's all so complicated. Am I doing this right?

Neurovivor Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 I think my thing was specifically for the Full Research grant, not the ETA.

rebwm Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 I got an ETA to South Korea! I am getting increasingly excited for orientation and to meet fellow grantees. Congratulations to everyone headed abroad! Best of luck to alternates and those reapplying for next year! snapnight and sirmixalot 2
cocoa Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 (edited) Has anyone received a Study/Research Fulbright for one of the Small Pacific Island Countries: Fiji, Vanuatu, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Kiribata, Tuvalu or Nauru? It is not a very heavily supported Fulbright part of the world. I am an alternate for Solomon Islands Thanks Edited May 21, 2014 by cocoa cocoa 1
tspier2 Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 I called about Macedonia today. They still have no idea when notifications will go out. I already know what I'm doing in the fall, but it would be nice to have some closure...

rkdude02 Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 Yes!!! I want to visit Venezuela! It's on my list of countries. When does your grant start? Slated to begin in mid-September and run through July. I haven't heard anything as to when the exact dates are quite yet.
cocoa Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 Thailand Fulbrighters: watch the coup situation. It could impact scholarships
kbui Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 I recently got an email from my regional director telling me to call him, but I officially got rejected a couple months back for an ETA to Thailand. Did anyone receive the same email? sirmixalot 1

Did anyone receive the same email? This could be a good sign! Fingers crossed for you! Let us know the outcome!
kbui Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 This could be a good sign! Fingers crossed for you! Let us know the outcome! I hope so too!!! I did some research, and this Fulbrighter got the SAME email I received today! Tiffany B and normando13 2
