Congratulations to you.

The last update I got from MCF was "acknowledgement of receipt of my application ing documents with a promise to pre-screen them soon". This was in late November.
I sent a mail yesterday requesting for an update but no yet.

The application deadline for the programme that I am applying for is January 15th 2024.

Please when did you get the application fee waiver from McGill?

Thank you very much.

I got the application fee waiver on the 14th of December 2023. I sent my application for MCF mcgill on the 1st of December 2023

Thank you very much.

Also I got an email from MCF for UBC stating that if you don't get an email by 22nd of December 2023, the application is rejected.
I hope your other applications come out positive
All the best

Congratulations to you.
I sent my application on November 13th and got an update from them on November 21 acknowledging receipt of my documents. They told me that it will undergo pre-screening.
Since then, I have not gotten any response from them despite sending them mail twice.

God will favour us all.

Who applied for the Mastercard Scholarship at McGill here? Or any school? Do you have any questions? Ask here; I'm happy to answer them.

Please, I want to know if the MCF do conduct interviews to selected candidates before making final decisions on the awardees? Or after the school finds a list of candidates worthy, they proceed to selection without the interview stage?

blackfish:
Good evening everyone.

Please has anyone heard from the University of Edinburgh Mastercard Foundation Scholarship?

Please has anyone heard from the University of Edinburgh Mastercard Foundation Scholarship?

I got an offer of ission from University of Edinburgh. But I haven't heard from Mastercard Foundation Scholarship.

Hello everyone, I hope candidates who applied are already receiving mails for interview.
For the last entry, you are meant to apply for the scholarship before applying to the school.

Did anyone apply to Sciences Po MasterCard Foundation Scholarship? Any updates?

Yes, I applied for Sciencespo, gotten ission but haven’t heard from Mastercard yet.

Who got an offer of ission from McGill University here?

Has anyone applied to UBC MDS here under MCF? Any updates?

I got McGill ission.

drhammed:
Fantastic! Well done, bro- rooting for you. Yes, you have a good CGPA (minus your advanced standing GPA) to be considered for the first round. I think MCF should give you a waiver, and your CGPA should get you to McGill. I should stress that, that depend on other factors- like pool of applicants (if they have tons of other competitive applicants), other document submitted by you. Since you've submitted, you have to wait and keep the hope alive. Please email MCF this week to ask about your status!

In summary, if you're granted a waiver, you can submit your application to the department. If the department its you, then MCF will review your application for the scholarship (winners to be announced by March/April).

For your other question- YES, you can start PhD (again, depends on many factors)- but generally, you're not going back unless you wish to go! Mastercard is quite flexible.

Hello, I'd like to ask a couple questions, I'm preparing to head to Canada.

1. Would you think the provisions of the MCF are enough for sustenance during the study period?

2. Can everything think on my visa applications be completed at abuja?

3. What are some of the required medical examinations?

Thanks

Anyone applying for 2025 Edinburgh mastercard scholarship?

Anyone applying for 2025 Edinburgh mastercard scholarship?

I've tried applying but the site hasn't been going through since 2days ago

Yes, am applying for the distance online learning, M.sc Climate change. I already applied to University of Edinburgh.

But am unable to apply through mastercard portal. The site is down. And also, I want to know, does mastercard give stipend for the online learning program.

I really don't know much about their online programs.
I also noticed that the site has been down for about 2days now. I'm planning to apply to Planetary health though.
University of Cambridge MCF site is also down. I really don't know what's wrong

Please let's try to revive this thread. Most of us will really need guidance as regards the application process and the essays.

Try different browsers like opera mini or clear your cache. You can also use vpn.

I thought you have to apply and get the mastercard scholarship 1st before applying to the University. That's what the school website says.

How does one go about the email subject instruction? It looks confusing

Thanks so much. Please I have a question for McGill application.
Will Mastercard the two references we drop during the application? This is just to know how we'll the referees and probably prepare drafts ahead.

Is there anyone applying to University of Cambridge Mastercard foundation here?
How do we go about the application fee please? The fact that we need to be offered ission by the school first before MCF consider our application makes it more complicated.

You should check the school's website because you may be eligible for the application fee waiver.
