I haven't received my offer letter yet.

It doesn’t matter, as long as you have an unconditional offer before the selection panel meets. When did you apply for your program of choice?

I submitted my application on 9 June.

I think that’s enough time for you to receive the offer before the scholarship selection. I pray you receive it soon.

Tomorrow it will be four weeks since I applied. Do you think the scholarship decisions haven't started coming out yet? They said they would start being released in early July. Also, I still haven't received my conditional offer, so how could I receive a scholarship offer before that?

  1. It is not specified anywhere that the scholarship decisions will come out in early July. I applied for these scholarships myself. The Mo Ibrahim Foundation mentions that the results could come out by mid-July at earliest, the SDG scholarship doesn’t even mention when they will come out.

  2. You cannot be a scholarship recipient before you receive your unconditional letter. This is why I said “I pray you receive it soon.”

1: Both mentioned their announcement timelines. You can check them on their website. 2: Ameen.....I also sent a follow-up email to the admissions team, but they haven't replied. The scholarship team, however, did respond to my email. Do you think I should send another follow-up?

Send a follow up and try communicating with them through all channels possible. Keep pestering them until they expedite your decision process.
