Greetings Richard from Kenya.It implies that if one offer holder turns down the scholarship from any given university,the chance is given to a reserve candidate based on the order they r in from the school reserve list.from my understanding

to be honest, its a 50:50 thing
Hello all!

This thread has been very insightful. I have finally decided to join in on the fun. I applied to eight schools for the Scholarship and have already been refused by four - Westminster, Goldsmiths, Warwick and Newcastle. The refusals really got me down and I have been feeling quite discouraged this past week. This evening, to my surprise, I saw that the Agency Input section for my University of Exeter application was completed with positive responses. My application is still "With Nominating Agency 1" however. I am hoping and praying that this will come through and that I will be one of the chosen few.

Rejected Bath and QUB nominations.
I hope this increases the odds for those in the reserve list in the same universities...I took Kuchikau advice and deed the needful.


Dear Mustapha,
God bless you immensely for rejecting the Bath offer. I have been waiting patiently for one of the two nominated applicants to decline their offer when I stumbled on this forum and your post. I was placed on the reserve list about a week ago and you just made my day with this post.
Below is my reserve list notification. Guess I'd have to mail the school for any updates as regards my nominations and keep my fingers crossed. God bless you Bro

"The applications for the University of Bath Commonwealth Shared Scholarships have all been considered and a decision has been made. Unfortunately, at this time we are unable to nominate you for the Scholarship, however your application was particularly strong, and amongst the best that we received, so you should know that you have been placed at the top of our reserve list. Should one of our two nominees withdraw, you will be the first person that we contact.I realise that this is not the news that you had hoped for, but you should take heart from the fact that your application was ranked 3rd out of the 445 applications we received. Please don’t hesitate to contact me should you have any questions. Best wishes Simon"
Encouraging please if someone holds more than one nominations. Make a quick decision to assist your friends
A friend got this email:

Re: Reserve nomination for a Shared Scholarship to study MSc Public Health Health Promotion at Leeds Beckett University I am writing to inform you that you are being considered as a reserve candidate for a possible scholarship for the above course. Being on a reserve list means you have been recommended as suitable candidate for the scholarship however, you are not the universities first choice due to the high calibre of applicants. Therefore if the scholarship becomes available you will then be considered. Please note this does not guarantee you will be awarded the scholarship. The Admissions Tutor and Scholarship Coordinator reviewed your file, and your name has been sent to the Commonwealth Scholarship Commission (CSC) as a reserve for the Shared Scholarship Scheme who will make the final decision about which students will be awarded the scholarship. When the decision has been made, CSC will contact the University and we will inform the candidates of the outcome. In the meantime, it is essential you continue to search for alternative sources of funding, in case you are not successful in gaining the CSC scholarship. Congratulations on achieving your reserve nomination for a shared scholarship. Yours sincerely, International OfficeLeeds Beckett University
