The US (Fulbright Scholarship 2020-2021)-Fully Funded Fulbright Scholarship For Both Citizens And Foreigners-US Bright Future

The US (Fulbright scholarship 2020-2021) happens to be one of the top notch scholarship available for both citizens and foreigners. The scholarship is mostly for master’s degree program and PHD programs, so if you have a first degree already from any part of the world then you are free to apply for this scholarship. (more…)

I would give anything to go to the Drama Centre because: Bradley James. that's all I have to say.

Austria doesn’t require TAs to pursue a side project (and I think that though other countries ask for your “side project/free time whatever" in your application, they don’t necessarily check up on you about it, so it can be as time allows). However considering that the actual work of a teaching assistant occupies relatively little time, I did a couple of things. My main side project was starting an English conversation group open to all of my Maturanten, or graduating students. We met once a week in the evening and just chatted in English about whatever topics they preferred. I ended up with a solid group of “regulars" who were so appreciative that I was taking the time to help them out, and it was really nice for me to get to know my students outside of the classroom.

My other side project was my real blog, http://livainaustria.blogspot.com

Hi Dancing Gen! Congrats on being recommended as a finalist—you’re already awesome :)

I heard that I was designated an alternate during the end of March (I don’t remember the exact date—it was right at the end of my spring break). The nice thing was that I received my acceptance from Austria a week later, so that cheered me up. I was promoted from alternate to selected in late May, but at that point had already committed to Austria and bought an airplane ticket, so I decided not to accept. I know if you are designated an alternate, they will keep you on the waiting list all the way into the academic year (in case someone drops out, I assume) unless you request otherwise. Crossing my fingers for you that you’ll be selected though!

I know that this year notifications seem to be coming out a bit earlier (some countries have already sent them!) so that’s in your favor. It’s so frustrating to have to wait so long—I think for some countries, people find out a decision around the same time they graduate! I’d definitely recommend you check out the Fulbright forum on The GradCafe. Great place for commiseration and support, “meet” people you will be in Germany with if selected, etc. There is a link there to a (self-reported) spreadsheet with notification data from the last three or four years as well as this year.

Thank you! That's so nice :) You can actually check out my real blog chronicling my time here in Austria.

Considering that your personal statement probably mentions the specific programs and/or country names, at a bare minimum you need to edit it to reflect that. Also, Austria's requirement is just for one statement. What I did is conflated my SGP and PS from the Germany application into one statement of about 2 pages, with some major edits because some of my interests in the two countries were different, and sent that to Austria. It worked out great, because here I am! If you want to send me your statement for editing or thoughts I'd honestly be happy to do it--just message me un-anonymously so I can give you my email. If you do that I can also give you some other thoughts/advice privately. Also, see this post that I did for some thoughts on the differences between the programs.
