I think it regards all ODID's courses that had a December deadline.

If you don’t mind sharing, did you get an offer after all? Trying to work out whether the timing of button disappearance (yours seem to have gone quite early compared to others) has any implications on whether you get an offer or not. Thanks a lot in advance :smile:

No, I haven't yet... and I'm just getting nervous over the idea of not being able to afford the international fees :frown:
I got a place at St. Antony's and I'm really hoping I can get one of their scholarships.

Hey! I'm in the same situation with two different offers at st antony's as well and here is what they said literally two days ago:

"The next three weeks will be critical for funding as it will be when the majority of pending awards will be announced. There is a small group that takes place in June, but this is a minority.Now the University awards are winding down, it will be time for colleges and departments to release their decisions.Unfortunately, the selection process of colleges and University awards is highly confidential and we only receive communication regarding the successful recipients. Therefore we cannot provide further information if you are being considered for automatic awards in the University, colleges or internally in your department.As far as we understand, the main awards from the University has been allocated and yesterday they started contacting successful recipients of Weidenfeld-Hoffmann Scholarships.It is always easier to secure funding for a one year course rather than MPhils. Not sure about funding coming from DPIR, however ODID tend to allocate their funding at the end of May or early June.So we can only recommend a bit more of patience and hold your decision until the internal processes are completed, because it is not possible to tell if you might be a reserved and someone is about to decline their scholarship."

Hope this helps

It helps me a lot to know what to expect and to try to keep my anxiety at bay.
Please, if possible, keep me updated about any news you may have. I'll do the same!

Hi everyone...
So now that is June 16th, are we right to assume that the ODID's scholarships have already been given out?
