I read everywhere that if "selection made" changes to "funding" then only you are selected. "selection made" can be changed to "rejected" as well. I have read in other posts. And as I have told before that they give out offer in batches, so don't lose your hope yet. Thanks .. Let's hope for the best Soh.Bhatt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My application status changed from "Application Submitted" to "Selection Made" to "Funding". I have received no emails or messages from DAAD and its now Wednesday. Does anyone know what "Funding" means? going crazy checking my portal 20 times daily. I also have a tab on the left side of my laptop saying "Declaration of Acceptance" but i never received one or anything Thanks in advance! Hey, can you please tell me how much time it took to change from "selection made" to "funding"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am from Nepal but DAAD India handles all the applications from Nepal. I have submitted all of my application documents to DAAD India. I have applied for long-term research grants for my Ph.D. Edited March 27, 2018 by Nabin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loopyunicorn21 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 (edited) My status changed too! Its "selection made". But I see no change in the funding dates. It still shows what I gave (which is wrong btw, it was for 3.5 years). Waiting for the next change. DAAD really knows how to keep us on our toes! @Soh.Bhatt I am not sure if the email can be considered as the final offer. Only when we get the letters, we can say for sure. As for the language course..I vaguely remember them telling me during the interview that it will start on June 12th. I just assumed that it will be in Germany. The coordinator who replied for me thought I was applying to TU berlin, and hence told that my language course wont be there. Just a confusion on her part, I think. Did they say anything about language course location to you? @praveen5321468 Think you are still not out. The disclosure restriction is because of the waitlists i think. In their email, they mentioned that they need our answers, so that they can move ahead with finalizing the list. And I second "the decisions being sent out in batches". Fingers crossed!!

Thames Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 (edited) Can someone provide some insight here? I am an American and I applied to "Research Grants for Doctoral Candidates and Young Academics (more than 6 months)". Back in January I received notification that there would be a decision meeting in early March and we would hear back within 3 weeks. There was also written that we would hear by the end of March. Has anyone else applied to this or seen any change in their application status? It's already 3/28, and I'm going mad with anticipation! Of course, technically it is not the end of the month. And I won't write the DAAD office because they explicitly state that we should not e-mail to ask about the deadline/decision process. But, still. Anticipation. I have checked my e-mail and the portal today with alarming frequency. Edited March 28, 2018 by Thames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have checked my e-mail and the portal today with alarming frequency. Hey Thames, I applied for the same grant in the US and also have no change in my status. But I called the NY Office a couple of times, and they told me that we should not expect to hear anytime before April (regardless of what the email in January said). Apparently all the applications for long-term grants (including the ones for phd scholarships) are handled/signed off by one person in Bonn office, and there has been a delay due to a great number of applications this year. So don't despair yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thames Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 (edited) Thank you for looking into this, Elicia. I guess all we can do is give more offerings and prayers to the DAAD portal.

Nonholonomic Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 German are punctual when it comes to meetings and work hours. But there is a lot that they aren't punctual with such as train schedules, government paperwork, and University related stuff. In Switzerland you could get a refund if your train is a few minutes late. Not in Germany, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
