Hi! I sent an email to MAPP saying I intended to accept (once they officially offer it from the European Commission..) and asked whether the approval of the European Commission is just a formality and Heni (the coordinator) replied with this:
"Dear Ali,
Thank you for your prompt response.It is a formality that the European Commission checks our list of selected students. So far they have not declined any scholarships this way, but of course, we cannot guarantee their decision in advance.Best wishes,Heni"I assume since I received an email back, this confirms that I accepted the offer..Did you email them back saying you accepted their offer (and they haven't replied yet)?Thanks for the answer! Yeah, they came back to me that actually they can offer CEU Full Fellowship in the first year and 50% tuition fee waiver for the second. They have also told me that I they don't hear from me by 31st of March they will pass the scholarship offers to the next on the waitlist. Confirmed my intention to accept the offer, but still haven't received any confirmation from them.

Has anyone received confirmation for sending acceptance/refusal of the offer? Thanks

Congratulations Sonita! That's an amazing accomplishment!

Just got this on an e-mail
In addition, the Mundus MAPP Consortium awards you the following financial aid package:
1. A 50% tuition waiver for your first academic year to be spent at CEU
2. A 50% tuition waiver for your second academic year to be spent at York -

Cool! I only applied to these two programs as well. I graduated a year ago, but I can't go to grad school without funding so I thought I'd apply to MAPP and IMRCEES because they looked interesting (they are going to be my "fun" grad programs! haha). If I didn't get funding, I was going to wait a year and apply to a more broad selection of universities the next year. However, it looks like I got funding for MAPP, but I haven't received an email, so we'll see what happens.
I'm torn between the two programs as my undergraduate thesis focused on central asia and eastern europe (Romania was actually one of my case studies!), and it give you two degrees, AND I had two friends who attended and really liked it...but MAPP is in two countries I really want to go to (and I'd love to work on my Spanish at IBEI), plus public policy is a broader program, that will help me apply for a variety of jobs.
Not sure! We'll see what happens with IMRCEES!
(by the way, which university did you go to in the UK?)
University of Bristol, BSc Politics and Sociology, but I weighted my degree and have only been doing politics and IR in my final year

Hey mrcatuti, I think we're also on the forum about the MAPP program. Are these the only two grad schools you applied for? Which one are you leaning towards?
I'm also finding it pretty surprising that we found out in December if we were in, but the funding information doesn't come until March. For the MAPP program, we applied in January and found out in February!
Hey!
At the moment yes. I am in my final year of study and funding is going to be a great problem for me if I don't find a scholarship. MAPP and IMRCEES are the only ones I applied for so far, but I will probably also apply for other scholarship schemes in English universities. If I had to choose between the 2, I would definitely go for IMRCEES, because I am from Romania and I have a particular interest in the region. Also, it would result in obtaining 2 masters diplomas, second one hopefully in European Politics in Poland. If you also add the opportunity to learn Russian, for me it's quite a clear choice and I think it came across in my application, as I have spent far more time on the IMRCEES one. I am only waitlisted for scholarship for MAPP, and given that only 1 award was given to EU citizens, I have given up on that.

ah .. damn. I can't believe I wasted an entire day worrying about these results. Anyway why do you want to do this programme. What kind of career are you looking out after the programme
Still keeping my options open, but I would love to work for the EU Commission, Parliament, NATO, or national foreign ministry. I am highly interested in European security and Europeanisation of non-member states in general. Might even just continue with a Phd if I find funding. What about you?

anyone with erasmus letters yet ... sick of refreshing my outlook page ever 40 mins
not yet, same here.... E-mailed them last week asking if they have a more precise date for announcing the results, this is what they answered:
Thank you for your message. I appreciate that you are anxious to find out if you have been successful. Please be assured that we will contact you as soon as possible. I cannot be more precise at this stage.

hello everyone!
I also got an offer and I am waiting for the scholarship results, though I am from a Program country, so chances are slimmer for me, as 75% of bursaries are awarded to Partner Countries. On the website video they say they can give up to 20 scholarships. Given the fact that there are only 28 places and I assume they would save some for the self-financing applicants, I believe that the chances for getting the scholarship are quite good, for people who have already been sent an offer for a place.
