Anyone applying for the Black Heart foundation scholarship

Hey! I hope you're having a great week. Any update on the first cohort?

This may sound like a dumb question but can you still apply if you've already applied on sfe for the full maintenance loan and have been accepted for the full maintenance loan?
I come from a low income household and I don't know if I'll be able to afford uni even with the loan...

Hello everyone!! I applied to the Black Heart Foundation scholarship at the very start of April this year and I'm still waiting (and praying) for a response. Does anyone know when the foundation will finish reviewing their current round of applications, and when they will possibly get back to me? My entire postgraduate education is dependant on some external financial support, so I've been endlessly worrying about all of this!!

I'm manifesting and wishing the best for everyone else in this thread too!!

Anyone heard anything this week?

I heard back earlier this week that my application was unsuccessful. I applied in February. Waited 3+ months just for that. Was anyone from that cohort successful?

I submitted my application early May does anyone know when reviews start for this cohort?.

Were you not told in the email you got confirming your application had been submitted? I was told the next review period was going to be in late April, and applicants from the cohort before you (March/April) are yet to hear back I think, so I think anyone applying in May will probably be waiting at least a couple of months.

Oh no, sorry to hear this! Did they give you any feedback/ indication as to why you didn't get it? I also didn't think they would let people know they were unsuccessful given what it says on the website, but that's better than leaving people waiting I guess. I applied towards the end of March so I assume I won't hear back for a little while

Hey everyone!! I've been in contact with a couple successful applicants from other socials who applied in February and have only found out about a week ago, so I have a feeling the April cohort may take a little while longer to be reviewed and for responses!! Still hoping they'll get back to us in early July but it may take a little longer.

I also wondered if anybody successful here could say how much they were awarded, or how much is the usual amount given from the foundation? I'm worried I may have asked for too much and can't seem to find any info on how much they usually give away. Thank you!!

I found a couple people through Twitter and LinkedIn, I've been panicking endlessly about the waiting time for responses so I reached out to a couple successful applicants and they told me they had to wait a little while longer!!

I wasn't sure if the foundation had a certain budget that's why I asked. I'm sure if they found a person deserving it wouldn't change too much, but I'm sure they'd like to give little scholarships to as many individuals as they could within their budgets, but I don't know!! I asked for £10k (which doesn't even cover half of my tuition sadly haha) - I'm hoping it isn't too much but the budget form shows the exact shortfall of my funds so hopefully they'll understand!! I feel like they have a lot of donations from celebrities and organisations so I'd hope they could give a good amount to us all. Still manifesting for everyone!

same - i asked a few on twitter/linkedin

as for money i asked for the entire cost of tuition fees and maintenance .... that's 50k lmao. but thats the financial help i need so

Yeah that's what I thought, that's why I only asked for partial funding too. A couple applicants from the previous years told me that the foundation offers up to £10k for each individual (or somewhere around that number) which is usually the highest they'll give, but I'm sure it's all dependant on an individuals circumstances and the specifics of the budget sheets!

I applied in early April too!! Hopefully we'll hear back sometime soon.
