Mine is gone too. It's a very tough competition, and there are many worthy candidates. I heard they needed to rush the process through this year because of how late the offers are going out. I think the decision went straight to the Commissioners, and bypassed the the stage of consultation with experts in relevant fields.

Really?

Maybe they're just doing some website maintenance? I feel like emailing CSC, but I don't know.

If you end up emailing please post the answer here, if you don't mind.

You're right, but the rejection just came so quickly, it's very disappointing. I will try to keep hope until maybe Tuesday at which point I may email them and will let you all know. :frown:

Hi guys! So I emailed the Commission, and good news! Our applications disappearing is nothing to worry about. Here is the response from them:

"This automatically happened 28 days following the closing date. Your application is still under consideration. Results expected at the end of July.

EAS Team"

:biggrin:

So there is still hope. Your hunch was right. Thanks for emailing the EAS team.

There should not be an interview for this scholarship.

Look at the flow diagram on page 2 of this document to see who applications are processed:

This isn't for Developed Countries.

I searched the web. They have mentioned this on their FAQ page. Here is the link:

That is for a different type of scholarship. It's a nerve wracking long shot, but we'll just have to be patient. If they had the meeting yesterday, it's all done and dusted now anyway!
