zadigblue Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 Just checked the portal this morning and my status has gone from "Selection made" to blank! Anjana017 1
Hakob Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 Hi, everyone Anyone applied for "Research Stays for University Academics"? My status in the portal has not even changed, it is still "application submitted" and it's kind of worrying
Rouxtime Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 Hi all, I've been lurking but haven't posted anything till now. Just for the sake of updating, I'm US based, applied for the Summer Language Intensive, and found out this morning through the portal that I've been accepted (came with a bunch of to-dos and paperwork). Anywho, best of luck to all who have been waiting to hear, and I hope you all get your grants!
zadigblue Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 IT SAYS FUNDING!!! Third time really was the charm... I guess it pays to be persistent. maelia8 and pup 2

You're right, persistence is key to funding (and grad school and life even?)! I applied for long-term funding from DAAD last year and didn't get it. I checked this morning, and my portal says Funding! Edited March 28, 2017 by pup clarity maelia8 1

What a great notice to wake up to pup 1
pup Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 Does anyone recall from prior years or personal experience how long it takes to go from a status change in the portal to receiving a message? I'm just in a state of disbelief until I see more than one word! maelia8 1
maelia8 Posted March 28, 2017 Author Posted March 28, 2017 @pup no idea, the online interface changes mightily each year Fingers crossed we hear soon! Their notification times are notoriously weird.

This was the experience of everyone last year, and I just received the full award details about 15-20 days after it originally switched to Funding pup 1

I'm from the US and applied through DAAD NY (though it was in consultation with the San Francisco Information Center close to where I live).
Antonk Posted March 29, 2017 Posted March 29, 2017 (edited) Got the "funding" status this morning as well (for a research grant). Got lucky on the second application. No letter just yet, though. Edited March 29, 2017 by Antonk maelia8 1
kasskart Posted March 29, 2017 Posted March 29, 2017 Hello! After weeks of lurking, I finally made an account. My application status has also changed to "Funding" for a Master's study scholarship! Has everyone already applied to the German institution and been accepted? I haven't applied yet because my application deadline in June 15 and I wanted to see if I was awarded the scholarship before I applied (since I couldn't attend unless I had a scholarship). Am I late to the game? Should I be worried? I'm hoping to have the application submitted by the end of April. Thanks everyone!
maelia8 Posted March 29, 2017 Author Posted March 29, 2017 @kasskart I don't think you need to worry, German universities' timeline is very relaxed. If it's not due until June you're solid. I'd even wait for the official award letter from DAAD before you apply as you can provide it as proof of funding in your application. kasskart 1
mom5298 Posted March 29, 2017 Posted March 29, 2017 Hello, I applied to the "Research Grants - Doctoral Programmes in Germany, 2017/18" and just today the application status changed to "selection made", is this a good sign??? congrats for accepted applicants, and good luck for all

Antonk Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 (edited) mom5298, strange, I had "selection made" for a long time until Monday, when it changed first to blank, and then to "funding." I've applied for the "Research Grants for Doctoral Candidates and Young Academics and Scientists" though. Edited March 30, 2017 by Antonk
Antonk Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 Did anyone with the "funding" status get a letter yet?
hbfisch00 Posted April 2, 2017 Posted April 2, 2017 Hey Everyone, I've applied to the Graduate Study Grant, and my portal currently says the status is "funding." Are we 100% sure that this means that I was accepted, or are we hoping that it does? I just wanted to be cautious before telling anyone! Thank you!
maelia8 Posted April 3, 2017 Author Posted April 3, 2017 @hbfisch00 pretty sure it means you're funded, or at least, that's the consensus on the forum! Like you, I've held off telling anyone officially, but I think I may have to on Monday.
pup Posted April 3, 2017 Posted April 3, 2017 @hbfisch00, Congratulations! Yes, it seems that optimism is probably warranted at this point. I looked through last year's thread on this topic, and there were similar delays in the official letter. Still, it would be very nice to see more than one word for confirmation! After contacting my university grants office about the situation, they should it would probably be fine to let my advisor and department head know, but I haven't informed anyone else (except you all!). Hopefully we receive something more definite this week!
