Ford Foundation Fellowship - 2007

[cakes]

let the speculation commence!

last year, letters arrived around April 15th - i wish it was sooner and i wish it was an email notification.

anyway...anyone else?

[cakes]

just a non-update...in case anyone else is reading this...

i emailed the ford foundation info-people (the general email address given on the program announcement) to see if i could find out when notifications would be made, and if they would be made via the USPS again this year, and did not receive any response.

[cakes]

talking to myself here, clearly, but...

notifications have been mailed out.

[Matrixavier]

When were they mailed?

[cakes]

I don't know, I didn't ask. I just asked "were notifications sent out yet?" and the woman on the phone said, "yes, they have been mailed."

I live on the West Coast, so I imagine people on the East Coast will receive theirs sooner. Last year, on this board, I think I was one of the last people to receive notification.

the phone number is: (202) 334-2872 if you want to get more info.

[Matrixavier]

ok, thanks. i guess we'll be hearing pretty soon...

[cakes]

please post when you receive notice!

I thought maybe I hadn't heard because I'm in Alaska, but I guess I'm not the only one. Please post when you hear.

Honorable Mention.

60 Awards / 1080 Applications

I also requested to receive my results via email so I got notification via email on Friday. If you call today, you can ask for your status to be emailed to you, especially if notification for this award may change your particular academic situation.

Good luck to everyone else and better luck next year to those of us who weren't successful this year!

I got my letter today, postmarked April 12. I am in California. Honorable Mention. Last year of eligibility. Grrrr!

(still...it goes on the ol' CV)

Postmark: 4/12

The letter says that I'm an alternate, and I'll be Honorable Mentioin at worst.

We'll see what happens...

[cakes]

congratulations and good luck!

I received the award!

I had to email Ford to find out. They will be sending me a packet in the upcoming days. This was my second attempt at the fellowship. Last year I received an Honorable Mention. Good luck to everyone!

I still haven't heard anything. I tried to call and hint that I would like my results through email but the lady just said, "the results have been mailed". I live in NYC and a friend in Syracuse already got his results so I'm just sitting here on the edge of my seat...waiting, waiting, waiting...
