General Comment: Is there a way to boost this thread? It's not on the main page and is showing up "Next Year's Thread" under dissertations. That might be why there's so little activity.

4/15 (7am) - Acceptance (History/WGSS). No email, just checked the portal. I will be declining the award because I've accepted a job offer. Best of luck to everyone!
[[File:AAUW Portal.png|thumb|Portal screenshot showing acceptance link.]]
^ congrats on the job! Where in the portal did you see it? I checked the homepage but no change from yesterday. I applied to the international fellowship so the portal may look different for me, but I’m curious where you saw it. <-- not sure if I can add an image, but I'll try. I applied for the American fellowship and it's a bit weird. I can't see the official offer letter unless I move through the acceptance process. <—- thanks that’s helpful!   

4/15 ^^my portal looked like this, applied to dissertation completion fellowship. received provisional acceptance email at 9am. congrats!! [History/WGSS]. will most likely accept.        

4/15 - rejection received at 9:01 am EST. Not a gender project so I am not too surprised. Congratulations to the winners!     

4/15 - No change on my portal. Applied for American fellowship.       

^ No change here either (@ 2:41 CST) (and still at 6:25 CST...) [biology/ecology]      

4/15 -ECE alternate      

Has anyone else still not heard? It's almost midnight EST and I thought all notifications were going out today?<— have you checked your spam and the portal, they Might have updated it if you received the scholarship.      

4/15 (8am central) - Acceptance via email (English/Literature)

Do people know when the announcements go out usually? As far as I remember, it is around this time of the year (3/7)

^^I'm thinking awardees will be notified mid-week. I've spent too much time looking at past threads of this...gah! Good luck to all.

^^Doesn't the website say notifications will come via email in late March? But ugh yes, me too. Too nervous - but more or less emotionally prepped for a rejection 

^^With the exception of 2020 (which had an understandable delay), they seem to pretty consistently notify awardees on the second Monday of March. So, my money is on the 14th. 

^^ I’ve seen 14th on some threads too.  Hope the rejections are sent out the same day. Otherwise, it feels awful to wait!  

^^ Did some digging into the edit history from last year, and it looks like people found out on the 15th in the afternoon. So seconding next Monday...  

Last year’s recipients got the email around the first day of the third week. For this timeline, it might be next week, starting on Monday 14th, latest Friday 18th.   

Ugh I'm so anxious!!!!   

^^SAMEEEEE   

Today, 14th March. I hope to get goodnews.    

Aaaaaany minute now.    

This is nerve-wracking     

Anyone refreshing this page as often as their email? Good times.     

^^Refresh email, refresh this page, do 5-10 mins of work, refresh email, refresh this page...     

^^Are...we the same person?     

^^Sick to my stomach over here in anticipation. The anxiety's killing me! I hope they hurry up...     

FWIW, in the past five years or so, usually people are notified later in the week.      

The anxiety is so real. Be kind and tell yourself that maybe the results will come Friday. Then go outside or bake some bread or call a friend. Taking my own advice starting now...      

^^This is a great reminder. Thank you. Going to give myself the afternoon off to go for a bike ride. <3                  

got news. Success      

oof, my heart just skipped a beat. congrats! when did they send out the email?      

Few minutes ago. Good luck all      

[03/14] Surprised to see only one acceptance. Let's do a headcount of how many people are active/watching on this page, might help us assess what's going on... (x20)       

^ I was thinking the same as I keep refreshing this website       

[03/14] You all got trolled. << Cruel but unsurprising. It's the risk we take when watching these pages << it takes a special kind of person...                

[3/14 4:58 PM ET] It is doubtful notifications will go out after 5pm ET. Since the one "acceptance" listed here seems to be a troll, it's safe to say acceptances haven't gone out yet. Maybe tomorrow. Hope folks can log off and take a breath.         

[3/14] I agree with the sentiments above. 5 pm ET seems to be the latest time. Wishing you all some well-earned relaxation after the troll saga.         

^^Perhaps, and indeed I hope so. However, there is nothing particularly suspicious about the poster's history, and last year, there was only one acceptance notification on this thread. Not that that's helpful in this situation, of course. What makes you all think its a troll?  <<< There was half a dozen acceptances all posted at the same time last year. Highly improbable that there would only be one.         

^^ 8 acceptances on the thread in total last year (you have to scroll carefully to see them all), and that looks to be fairly consistent year-to-year. Just one seems sketchy given the number of people following this page, not to mention no real info about time, discipline, etc. included by the original poster. We'll know when we know, but I wouldn't assume a rejection based on this.        

^^ I think the reason some people are questioning this other poster is by and large because they did not provide a time stamp. Last year ([[Dissertation Fellowships 2021-2022#ACLS .2F Mellon Dissertation Completion Fellowships]]) there were about three people with varied time zones that mentioned their acceptance with a time stamp.         

A friend just got a response. Has until March 21st to accept or decline. There are 800 applicants. I hope this helps.          

^^do you know the exact time your friend was accepted and what their discipline is?          

Accepted. Got the email at 3:30 PM. whoever needs to hear this: I got rejected last year and this was my second time applying. Don't give up; you're somebody and have value--one email does not change that.                    

^^ Congratulations! This, unfortunately, is the only year that I am eligible, unless they're generous with their exceptions due to Covid.                    

^^sorry to repeat but looks like someone deleted my message. Does anyone know if the acceptances roll during the week? I think in the past it did (perhaps around 2017). Rejections seem likely to come the following week.                                        

So if people received award notifications — has anyone  received provisional acceptance?                     

[3/14] At the risk of giving everyone false hope, I am somewhat suspicious of the acceptance posts on here. The poster above who claims their 'friend' got an offer--that post came from the same IP address as the earlier posts people suspected of being from a troll ("got news. Success." etc.) If they are that determined to mess with us, it would be easy to sign up to a new wifi network or use a VPN to post an additional false confirmation with a new IP address ("Accepted. Got the email at 3:30 PM.") And as others pointed out (in response to myself, earlier), in past years there have been multiple confirmations of acceptances from different people within about 30 minutes. It could be that I am grasping at straws to avoid the disappointment, and if so, I apologize to the posters who have received acceptances. However, I am feeling like we can no longer trust the information on this thread.                     

^^100% these "people" (prob person) are sus. That's why I keep asking follow-up questions. And it seems since they aren't able to verify the information in a more cogent way, it makes me question their veracity. Anyways, I do not think it is at all grasping at straws to have hope. People (prob one person, again) aren't being good netizens right now. I also *think* the provisional acceptances will go out sometime this week based on past data.                      

….Well, I don’t know how else to convince you because I got email today at past 3. I truly pray that you get good news. Goodluck everyone. Pls you have to trust that this is no troll. Drop your number if you want me to call you.                      

The number is incomplete. Anyone else got additional information about someone else who got the award?                         

LOLOLOL "drop your number if you want me to call you."  Because lying over the phone is more convincing? So silly...  800 applicants seems like a rather small number for ACLS. Agree with previous posters that the info here is sadly no longer reliable.                          

It is sad that you don’t believe. Trying to help because I will be less anxious if I know the truth. I will be here in the next five mins if you want to see the email with redacted info-( screen link removed)  and hopefully you will be able to communicate on this page  that it is true.                           

I joined OP's video chat, and they were able to share what appeared to be a screenshot of their provisional acceptance email, with identifying information redacted. It looked legit, with information about eligibility (needing to file dissertation by a certain date, not receiving further university funding after the completion of the fellowship term, etc).                                                                                               

^^congrats to OP! and on the (very slim) off chance that there is some kind of extended rollout this year, good luck to everyone still here and checking :)                                                                                               

[3/15] going to go with LOL duder, and VPN duder till further notice. awk to ask to join some random screen share and also to share phone numbers (are you one or three people? is the congrats person the same person or just naïve, did the person actually see the screen share or is this all one person...and on and on). Plus, this information isn't ubiquitous on other sites that share information, and on those sites there would be more than just random remarks without cogent information (there is literally no information about provisional acceptances anywhere else). O.O I literally have no faith in receiving the funding, btw, it's just literally me seeing poorly thought out information and potential trolling that gets my goat.                                                                                               

^^sorry, sorry - this is the congrats person. I'm just naïve and need to move on emotionally! I won't check this site again. Good luck to everyone!!                                                                                               

^so what the hell happened?                                                                                               

(Wed 3/16 at 10:46am) Hi, I have been lurking and have not posted before. I applied but did not get an acceptance on Monday, so I was in the boat of those hopeful it was all a ruse on the board and that acceptances had not gone out. However, I spoke to a friend in my program and learned they got an acceptance on 3/14 in the afternoon. Usually in past years, the acceptances all go out on the same day, alternates a few days later, and rejections are then sent near the end of March. So now begins the slow wait till my rejection letter, and I commiserate with those others who also missed out. Our projects are still valuable and important! Take care of yourselves and best of luck to all.                                                                                               

OP**I wasn’t trolling and felt sad that I tried to help but no one believed me. This is what the email says in part, “If you know that you will decline the award or are unable to accept it, please let us know that as soon as possible so that we may offer the award to another deserving graduate student.”…….”Assuming you remain interested in this fellowship, please ask one of your advisors to email my colleague, [[Redacted@acls.org|.(email redacted)]] about your continued eligibility by '''March 21'''. We ask your advisor to confirm four points listed below.” I guess while they are rolling it out probably daily, until 21st, they will give out the opportunity to others up the ladder when someone declines after this date. Please remember that indeed, your project is awesome and there is so much luck in the process. It is not because you are not enough but because it is also about luck. Goodluck to everyone here.                                                                                                

[3/17] does anyone know if alternate notifications have gone out yet?                                                                                                

[3/17 @ 2:43pm] Not sure whether I’m an alternate or not, but I did receive an award email an hour ago. The text in my email was identical to the one posted above, and I’ll have until the 24th to get back to them. It seems that the process of offering the fellowship is still ongoing. Best of luck to everyone!                                                                                                                                                                                                 

^ that means you are an awardee! Congrats — how exciting!! 

[3/18 3:30pm] any more updates? Has anyone found the email in the spam folder? Still waiting                                                                                                                                                                                                  

[3/21] still waiting… just pull the trigger and finish it ACLS!!!                                                                                                                                                                                                  

[3/21] If there's anyone out there who has received an alternate notification, I would appreciate any news on that front...                                                                                                                                                                                                  

^^ [3/21 3:51 pm] same same same -- it is so interesting nobody mentioned so far about receiving alternate notifications :/                                                                                                                                                                                                   

[3/23 @ 1:43 EST] Any news about alternates yet?                                                                                                                                                                                                   

[23 March, 2:40 PM Eastern] I think we will know more tomorrow or Friday? I have heard nada.                                                                                                                                                                                                    

[3/25] If awardees were given until 3/24 to make their decision, I suspect that most of the final decisions will roll out next week. Still surprising that no alternates have been announced here yet!                                                                                                                                                                                                    

[3/26] It kind of seems that this year they are dealing with alternates differently. The first round of acceptances required notification by 3/21, so folks who received award notices after that date probably would have formally qualified as "alternates." My guess is that they are just moving down their list until all awards are accepted.                                                                                                                                                                                                     

^^Seems accurate and likely that the process has changed as we'd usually have heard back by now about alternates and rejections on this or other sites.                                                                                                                                                                                                     

[3/30 @ 4:37pm ET] Has anyone else still not heard anything?                                                                                                                                                                                                     

[3/30 @ 5:08pm ET] Still nothing here. Assuming it's a no, but would like official confirmation, especially since I'm running up against a deadline to accept/decline something else.                                                                                                                                                                                                     

3/30: same boat here ^ I really wish they'd tell us by tomorrow. Has anyone tried emailing them? Maybe I should. Doubt they'd answer though.

(3/31 -- 11:17 CT) Received rejection too -- I assume there are no alternates as it has been assumed here above. I'd appreciate it if people could note here their alternate notifications if they received any.

Haven’t heard anything yet, has anyone? (1/18/23) x 3 

Any updates? They usually have the calls out by now, no? (1/21/23) 

Nothing for me. I looked at the boards from years past and it has pretty consistently been early in the third week of Jan. I don't know anyone else who applied, so I can't ask outside this forum. (1/21/23)

2/24 - WW announcements just went out. I've heard that in the past, the Newcombe finalist/rejection emails typically follow shortly thereafter.

2/24 - interesting! Given past years, it is also possible that we may need to wait til mid-March, but I think we all deserve some good news after such a horrible day in geopolitics. If they feel so inclined to announce it early, I will not protest!  

3/4 - Rejection email. "over 460 applications for 22 awards..."  

3/4 - Rejection email (history) - "I am sorry to inform you that you will not be moving forward as a finalist."  

3/4 Rejection - comparative lit  

3/4 - finalist notification, musicology   

3/4 - Finalist notification   

3/4 - Rejection, German Studies   

3/4 Finalist notification, philosophy (x2)    

To those who were rejected: I hope you prioritize self-care. I lit a candle, took a nice bath, and reconnected with friends for some external validation. (Though I sometimes also look at my CV to remind myself I've accomplished some stuff......)    

Good luck to the finalists! I believe that they usually choose 10%-14% from the pool of applicants for the final round. I am not a math person, but I believe that finalists have anything between 30%-40% chance to eventually win the award.....    

^Right, in two previous years on this wiki people have reported 14% were made Finalists from the original pool. At roughly 460 apps this year, that is right around 64 finalists for 22 spots, so ~34% of Finalists will eventually get an award. Of course, what percentage of Finalists are offered an award will depend on how many people decline. (And this is all assuming that this year will work like previous ones!)     

<nowiki>**</nowiki>Am I the only person who has started checking this daily to see if anyone has heard yet? If not, then good luck!     

^You are definitely not the only person, lol. BUT, I *think* we'll hear the decisions on Monday, given past years. I am preparing myself emotionally for the very real possibility that I don't win,...  Good luck to everyone!! I hope all of us finalists active here win the award.

3/31 Rejected

==DAAD Graduate Research Fellowship==
3/16 Application status changed in the portal to “selection made.” Would someone here remind me whether that’s a good sign?

3/16 Also saw that the status changed to "selection made." I was trawling through past grad cafe forums and I think it's possible everyone sees this message regardless of the outcome? I'm not totally sure.

3/17 Mine first went to “selection made,” and then changed to blank. Weird.

^ In last year's forum, this happened to someone else who was then funded. My "selection made" hasn't gone blank, so fingers crossed! (3/17)

3/21 I posted on the 17th. The blank in the portal just changed to "funding." No notification though. 

* 3/21 Congratulations! I am the other poster here thus far. My "selection made" went blank, so unsure of what this means.
* No idea what any of this means. DAAD's always been a black box. We might find out soon. Best of luck!
* Something that might be of interest to others: apparently if you applied to both DAAD and Fulbright, the programs communicate and will typically only award one of the two.
* Any updates?
3/26 "Application Status" has also changed to "funding," but there has been no official notification.  Last year, my rejection letter came on 3/12, but I'm not sure that means anything. 

* Do you mind sharing when this change occured for you?
* I noticed it on 3/26 for the first time. I hadn’t been checking all too regularly, though. Maybe a week or two before it still said “Application Complete.”
4/1 "Application Status" only just changed to "funding" after being blank for weeks. No email yet. I emailed DAAD earlier in the week and they said that we should be hearing soon.

* Congrats!! That's a great sign. I wish they would define "soon."
4/7 Are there others still waiting on an official email? 

* Yes. I posted originally on 3/26 and have been frantically checking my email with every notification since. No updates from DAAD.  
4/12 I called the DAAD office in NY today. It went straight to voicemail and the mailbox is full. Still waiting on an official notification. 

* 4/13 This is maddening, I also have yet to receive an email or message via the portal. 
4/20 I finally received a response to an email I sent last week. The employee at DAAD in NYC confirmed that the "funding" application status means that you will be receiving the grant. Official documents are supposed to be sent "soon." Good luck everyone!

4/26 I received an official notification of funding.

Applied, also no news as of 7 Feb (not expecting decisions until end of month/early March). Out of curiosity, did you get any other follow up emails from them? The original submission email mentioned they would contact us when they began reviewing our applications, but I never heard anything and I know they generally review over the Christmas holidays or thereabouts. 

^Applied, no news. In the past, they've sent all notices (accepted, rejected, waitlist) by around this time. Never received a follow up e-mail.  

Finalist interviews (edit: for Byzantine studies) were held on 1/21. No further news as of 2/8.

But I was told that these offers are made after major decisions are made about the pre-doctoral and post-doctoral awards. Update: I received an official acceptance in the SOLAA portal.     

3/14 Received notification that I'm an official alternate via SOLAA

anyone had any news of transcript requests or rejections? (2/3)

Nothing yet for me - heard that they came out around this time last year (2/3)

Last year people (who got to be finalists) reported a change in their status (from "Submission" to "Finalist Submission") on the first Thursday of February but I haven't received anything yet and my application page still says "Submission." (2/3)

Can confirm that our status was changed in the portal on Feb 4 last year if we were finalists. They sent emails out on Feb 5. Haven't heard anything yet this year though.

Anything yet (2/8)?

Just checked my portal. Still only showing "Submission." No email yet. (2/9, 9am EST)

Yupp, radio silence. (2/9)

Still nothing? Anyone see any portal changes? (2/10)

No portal changes or emails for me (2/11, 9am EST)

I saw a change in my portal to "Needs Attention" and a notice for transcript requests. But I haven't yet received an email. 

transcript request via email (2/11, 12:30pm EST) 

Any idea if those receiving transcript requests today have cleared the first tier of review (abstract plus three responses) or the second (complete proposal)?  (2/11)  

This still seems unclear and it seems that both are possible. Made it to final round last year and this application was definitely stronger but no notification for transcript so who knows? (2/17)  

The IDRF FAQs very clearly states that all applicants will be contacted about the status of their application in February. When I was asked to submit transcripts in the portal it said “all finalists will be asked to submit transcripts” and the deadline to submit was 21 February. The FAQs also mention the review process has three tiers. The first is a screening where only the three responses are considered and then there’s a second when the entire proposal is read. I’m not sure when the transcript is asked for but I believe it is after just the screening around although I’m not sure. I hope this is helpful (2/19).     

Just received a rejection email (2/22) x4     

Application this time was a stronger version of one that made it to the final round last year, so woeful lack of transparency here. Also last year the feedback on proposals came months and months later for some of us, so don’t hold your breathe for feedback within a reasonable timeframe.     

Re: feedback, what is the process for asking for this? Just via the rejection email? I won't be reapplying but am always curious about how to improve for future grants.     

Any news so far? Looks like the IDRF program is being cancelled and 2022 cohort will be the last one. For some reason I was expecting to hear about the final decisions today but maybe we will have to wait until next week? I'm getting a bit impatient. :/ (4/8)
