Reserve list for UCL Undergraduate Scholarship

I was accepted into UCL for physical natural sciences as an undergraduate. In April, I applied for the UCL global undergraduate scholarship (with very low expectations). Its a scholarship for overseas applicants from low income backgrounds. Surprisingly, I received an email from the funding office a week back, saying that I have been shortlisted for the application. On their website, UCL stated, “successful applicants will be notified by May 31st”. This made me assume that I was one of the ten students who won an award and that they only needed paperwork to approve my family’s income. Just when i got my hopes up, I received an email saying that I was put in the reserve list for the scholarship. Now what??? What are my chances of winning an award? They said that they would contact me ASAP if an opportunity opened up.

I can’t go into details about my financial situation but I can tell you that your A-level grades or any other grades are worthless while applying for this scholarship. As long as you get an offer, you’re fine. Also, they will ask you to send them bank statements and tax returns if you are shortlisted so be prepared for that. I was also told that they do not consider your UCAS form all together so your personal statement or your reference letter also does not matter to them. All that matters is your scholarship form.
