They've got to explain why surely!

This was the email! From what I've heard from others applying who tried to contact them throughout the process, they weren't particularly friendly.

Thank you for your application for a Commonwealth Scholarship in 2017. I am writing to let you know that all applications have now been assessed for eligibility and your application has been deemed ineligible.

The full Terms and Conditions of our awards including the eligibility criteria and deadlines for submission of the application and the supporting documentation are available on our website here: http://cscuk.dfid.gov.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/terms-conditions-scholarships-developed-2017.pdf

We do not provide feedback to individual candidates and correspondence will not be entered into with ineligible candidates.

Please note that an ineligible application will not negatively affect any future application to the CSC.

Hello,Applicant from Australia here. I applied back in late March and aside from an e-mail I received upon making an EAS account I have heard absolutely nothing from the commission. Is this everybody else's experience? Also I can't find a contact address for them that doesn't respond with an automated e-mail.

Hey yeah same here. The email address I used was [email protected] and they replied within a couple of days I think. I called my home country's scholarship office and they said they hadn't heard from them either and that it usually does take them till June as they have to process all the applications from every country. But otherwise not a peep. :frown:

That was the e-mail address which responded to my query, although I used the contact form on the CSC website. I really hope we find out soon. Good luck to you!

So sorry to hear this bad news from you lot! :-(
It seems like they really only give a sprinkling of offers to applicants from 'developed' countries.... Best of luck to any of you who are still waiting and hoping!

Any one have any further info? I was advised I was listed as a 'reserve' candidate and would progress should more funding be available and/or someone not take their place but I'm guessing that's not happening because it's basically October!!

Hi,

I know of someone who was given that "advice" in August. He later sent some couple of emails and he was given the scholarship. Perhaps this is something you can pursue? Directly contacting them?
