It's official

01.31.2003

Keep this under your hat. The Institute for International Education (IEE) is pleased to inform me that they've recommended me for a Fulbright grant. I'll find out if I'm actually a grant recipient before the end of June.

I found their official letter in my mailbox when I got home, though I got a heads up from Dr. Hauptmann earlier today. We're going out for drinks at O'Duffy's Wednesday night.

Many congratulations and good luck with the possibility of the grant.

Thanks for all the well wishing so far. What does a Fulbright grant mean? Well, it does mean that someone up there likes me. It also means that I'd get beacoup bucks for my dissertation field research in Bolivia. It also looks great on a CV. But let's not get ahead of ourselves ... I still haven't been awarded a grant.
