Westminster Scholarships

Yes, here is the e-mail:

I regret to inform you that the Scholarships Committee, after great deliberation, has not been able to award you a scholarship for the September 2012 intake. The committee met over a number of days and each case was carefully reviewed. We had a great many applications for a limited number of scholarships, so the competition was particularly intense.

Please be assured that every application was given due consideration. I am sorry that we have to disappoint you and wish you every success in your future.

Please note that all decisions made by the Committee are final and not open to re-consideration.

Anna, I can understand your feeling now but dont feel upset. With your academic records, you can try with scholarships provided by Australian or American government (Endeavour, ADS, Fulbright) or Chevening (UK). Or if you already have 3 year work experience, try the Netherlands Fellowship programme which will be opened on this 17 July:

Many universities in Australia are now calling applicants for the International Postgraduate Research Scholarship (IPRS), which you can easily find out more information in their websites. For example, the IPRS offered by Curtin University (Perth, Western Australia)

I do hope that helps. Keep faith and never give up, my dear :X

Welcome!!!!!

If you are talking about the admission application, of course, they send it right away. With the scholarship application, they gave me a notice after 9/10 days. I also emailed them regarding the mail as soon as i saw it was delivered on DHL's website.

Good luck.

Thank you mekagrg.

I meant the scholarship application. It was received the last Friday and I was worried because until this moment I haven't received the email of confirmation. But now I know that I need to wait more time.

Good luck with your application

Does anyone here know a freind or someone who got a scholarship from uwm in previous years,last year for example?....what was their GPA?
It's kinda weired someone with a GPA of say 9 is not awarded....or is it more than just the GPA?...personal statement may be?

If I recall correctly, they took around one week to send me the confirmation email when I sent my application. Besides, they might not send the confirmation if they received the application after the deadline.

Cheers.

Thanks lazaro.
My scholarship application is for a course that starts on January 2013 so my deadline is November 2012. Tomorrow will be one week since the application was received on the university. I will wait a few days more.

Good luck with your application.

Received my answer couple of minutes ago. Uhmm, didn't get it. I am obviously devasted. I sort of don't know where to go from here. I know things will get better slowly but it really doesn't feel good right now. It's weird i can't even cry. A lot of things were riding on this.
If anybody knows anything about other universities offering full scholarships to international students, please do let me know. That would be great.
Best of luck to everyone.

lazaro7,

it's due to Cameron's government basically...

You know, I am a postgraduate applicant, so I just take my interest in postgraduate scholarships. Here are some uni in UK grant full scholarships or equivalent: Huddersfield, Leed, Cardiff. Maybe they also award scholarships for undergrad. Anyway, it worths trying.

Afraid that, deadlines have passed this year. So, get more experiences, polish your profile and prepare for next year.

Wish you good luck!

P/S: dunno where you are from? But try sourses of scholarships for overseas study right in your country. Eg, I come from Vietnam, there are scholarships granted by foreign Governments or embassies, such as Switzerland's Governent, Bilateral Belgium Scholarships, ADS or Endeavour by Australia...
