pup Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Hi all, Congratulations to all new recipients; you will do great things! A small update for those of us in the cursed 'Alternate' purgatory: Germany took 41 alternates for study/research, ~1/2 the number of total research grants. I am not sure how that compares to other years/countries, but it does offer some perspective. With this news, I won't be anxiously awaiting a promotion message. There is always next year, at least.

chajha Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Got word I'm a finalist for the India Research grant yesterday. No notification of CLEA-- seems like it's awarded independent of your Fulbright grant, so they'll probably award it out of the pool of people who got the Fulbright, which means it will take more time? I haven't seen a facebook page for India either, someone should set it up Neuronerd94 and Asmith10 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neuronerd94 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I made a Facebook group for the UK finalists if anyone wants to join: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1601724140081019/ Maybe we can help each other figure out this process, since I am very lost at the moment XD Excited to meet you all!

I recently found out I was awarded a Princeton in Africa fellowship, and I need to either accept or decline by tomorrow afternoon, which is very soon and is stressing me out. I am a semifinalist for Fulbright Research in India, and really have no idea anymore when the decision will be released. For others who have applied/been awarded fellowships, are you just accepting what you receive first, then doing the slightly-unprofessional thing and backing out if you get Fulbright/another top choice? I know that it's not as big of a deal with job offers, but with fellowships I'm guessing it could look a lot worse to do that. Hey! I'm a finalist for Princeton in Asia (will hear in the next week) and I was originally planning to take whatever one I was offered first and then backing out if need be. Butttttt I wrote on both applications that I was applying to Fulbright AND PiA... I've heard that these programs have ways of making sure that you really do withdraw from Fulbright if you get PiA. So.... it's risky. But ultimately up to you. I think if I get PiA, I will simply say that I'm waiting for Fulbright and that I won't be able to accept the PiA offer. It sucks, I know.

I emailed the Europe (except Germany) coordinator to ask for info on number of alternates for Italy and how many of the 14 spots for research grants have accepted. She said she couldn't tell me anything. Would you mind sharing where/how you found this information out? If you'd rather PM me, that would be awesome, too. Good luck to you and all the other alternates! sat0ri 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I actually made the decision to tell PiAf when they needed a decision that I wasn't comfortable making one before hearing back from Fulbright. They were only willing to give me a 2 hour extension haha so I ended up turning down the offer. Was risky and I was nervous but luckily somehow I heard back two hours later that I got the Fulbright! So it worked out for me. Fingers crossed that it works out for you as well! pooful and Southernbelle15 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
