smithsonian25 Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 I want to thank everyone for the support! Unfortunately, I did not get the Fulbright ETA. I was disappointed to say the least but in my experience these things usually happen for a reason. For those who are waiting I will keep my fingers crossed for you! Good luck everyone on wherever you land. Lab6214 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alternates typically don't hear back until the end if May/ first few weeks of June. It's like a 3rd round really. Oh I hope that's true! Maybe there's still a chance then AnnMarie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a finalist for a research grant, and I have a question about the medical clearance forms that I thought the forum could help with - how long is it taking people to hear back? I submitted mine over 3 weeks ago and haven't heard anything! Is this typical? Has anyone tried calling? Thank you!! This board is great. Congrats to all the finalists, and fingers crossed for the alternates and everyone still waiting! I'm in the same boat! I'm going on 2.5 weeks. Let us know if you hear back soon! I'm in a non-commission country (Panama), so I'm not sure if that has any impact on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't received my grant statement award from the Fulbright Commission in my country yet (and it will be two weeks tomorrow) I am hoping to upload my medical documents today so I am thinking I might be waiting for a while for those to go through. By the way, what part of Panama will you be in I will be your southern neighbor in Colombia. I visited the bocas del toro region and it is so beautiful!

According the email I received from my contact, they won't send the grant statement until I get medical clearance (so annoying!). I'll be in/around Panama City, so a bit far from the Colombian border, but if you come through, let me know! ibette 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jessielseago Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Hi all! I was notified nearly two weeks ago now that I was selected for a PhD research grant to Namibia... but the student self-service portal still isn't working... so I haven't been able to access ANY of the documents! I've been back & forth with tech support, but I'm afraid I'm starting to bother the guys, as I've checked in with them like 4 times already... Have any other awarded grantees been experiencing trouble with this? Has anyone heard back or had any news about what exactly we're supposed to be doing? Many thanks! P.S. Congrats to those who have been awarded thus far! What a relief!! To those who have received news that they were not selected this time around, do not despair! I applied for a research grant to the EU when I was in undergrad & was eventually rejected (being a finalist had totally gotten my hopes up). There is ALWAYS another chance (this was my redemption) & there are ALWAYS other amazing options for you to explore! cruxclaire and Lab6214 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just starting to look at programs... I just finished a program in International Environmental Policy at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey. They also have an International Education Management program that is only three semesters long, one of which is a professional practicum that can be in the U.S. or abroad. Could be cool!
