waderpanda Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Congratulations Kaede and to everyone who got the fellowship! Sadly I didn't, but I'll try again next year. Does anyone know if we have access to reviews and comments (like that for the GRFP)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeTheFronterizo Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Congratulations Ford recipients! I am interested in applying in the future but I am a recently admitted PhD student. When did everyone apply? In your first, second, third years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakota Winyan Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Congrats to the winners! I was just notified that I received honorable mention. Does anyone know if that's even a good distinction? Or just like a polite way to say you didn't get it lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told that you have a better shot in the first year because the reviewers know you don't have a clear research project yet so they give you more leeway.

drivingthoughts Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Congratulations @Kaede, @expandyourmind! Good job and best wishes in your future! Sadly, I didn't make it in this year. My hunt for additional funding continues... "Over 1,700 predoctoral applications were reviewed by panels composed of highly qualified scientists, engineers, and humanities scholars from across the nation. Since only 65 predoctoral awards are available, many deserving candidates could not be selected." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiphiphooray Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 (edited) Just found out that I was selected as an alternate (w/ honorable mention) for the Ford Fellowship. Fortunately, I received the NSF Fellowship less than a week ago. Edited March 22, 2017 by Hiphiphooray NoirFemme, Cervello and JSnow 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bposadas Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Congrats everyone! Unfortunately, I did not receive the award. @GatorGrad2020 congrats! At least UF was represented this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiphiphooray Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Does anyone have statistics on the "alternate" label? What are the chances of success as an alternate? How many alternates are there? Is every HM an alternate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many alternates are there? Is every HM an alternate? Based on the wording of my email, it looks like there are four outcomes: awardees, alternates, honorable mentions, and rejections. So if you're, say, number 6 on the alternate list, and only five awardees out of the 60 decline the fellowship, you'll be placed on the honorable mention list.

I'm also on their "alternate" list but I just assumed that everyone one their honorable mentions list would be considered an alternate. Is there anyone who received an e-mail stating that they will be on the honorable list but are not alternates? Hiphiphooray 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dillwithit Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Congratulations to all fellows and honorable mentions!! I unfortunately did not get it. I did receive my feedback comments though....it seemed one reviewer absolutely loved it, but the other one did not, which is frustrating. Can't win over everybody I guess.
