kbui Posted July 9, 2017 Posted July 9, 2017 Looking at previous forum topics, it seems like there are a few people every year on here applying for this highly competitive fellowship. I'm thinking of applying, and so wanted to build a community here with others to share our experiences.
8BitJourney Posted July 11, 2017 Posted July 11, 2017 (edited) Its so ridiculously competitive that I'm going to apply but wont hold my breath this cycle but its important for everyone applying to know that many people don't win it their first try. So do your best but don't stress too much! Edited July 11, 2017 by 8BitJourney
8BitJourney Posted November 2, 2018 Posted November 2, 2018 yup. Although from what I remember individuals who are contacted for interviews are recommended to not make it public so you won't know until you get either a phone call or rejection letter. It may change this year though. Coffeed and poliscibi 1 1
Jake Black1 Posted November 17, 2018 Posted November 17, 2018 Also applied here got an e-mail that they were reviewing.... long shot we'll see
Jake Black1 Posted December 24, 2018 Posted December 24, 2018 Any news on this forum? I think people who would've gotten in would have gotten a phone call by now...
poliscibi Posted December 24, 2018 Posted December 24, 2018 This thought just hit me, too! We may not hear anything for a while then.
poliscibi Posted December 24, 2018 Posted December 24, 2018 Here's info from a previous years' thread on a timeline:

I feel like its going to be within these holidays that they'll let us know. I guess we'll check back in a week or 2? Edited December 25, 2018 by Jake Black1
Jake Black1 Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 Ended up asking a few applicants prior I believe people who have gotten in will be hearing in the first week (after new years). Keep your phones on!
Temperance Posted January 2, 2019 Posted January 2, 2019 Assuming the timeline has not changed since their informational webinars, they plan on sending a status update to all applicants on January 10.
Jake Black1 Posted January 2, 2019 Posted January 2, 2019 Appreciate the update man. I am not gonna be disheartened with a rejection however as I know I gave it my all in my application. As in, even if I had the opportunity to apply again, I have no idea how I would've changed anything. best of luck to everyone though I know yall are all very driven!!!
Jake Black1 Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 Any update on this week guys? didn't hear anything still
Jake Black1 Posted January 6, 2019 Posted January 6, 2019 Damn sadly Rejected. Good luck to everyone else!!!!

llm09c Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 HI: Has anyone heard back via email or call for this fellowship? Why is there no blog or anything with applicants-- this is a large and competitive scholarship!
sirenamer Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 Hmmm haven't heard a thing yet (and anxiously waiting). Do people get rejections via email, or normal letter-mail? Good luck! Coffeed 1
Coffeed Posted January 9, 2019 Posted January 9, 2019 Haven’t heard anything from them. My application confirmation said they’ll send an update by Jan 9 at the latest.
poliscibi Posted January 9, 2019 Posted January 9, 2019 Rejected! Good luck with the rest of your season/semester, friends!
