@Mide, pls google selection process for JJWBGSP 2017/18, select JJ/WBGSP option and then scroll to selection process. That is where they indicated that the secretariat will announce the winners in July.
So we still have some time to keep on waiting.
One thing i know is the World Bank seriously follows the Eligibility criteria especially the minimum of 3 years of development related experience AFTER COMPLETION OF ONES UNDERGRADUATE DEGREE to be selected as a finalist. Thats why i was not selected as a finalist last year.
This time i got the email that requested me to send my unconditional offer letter though i sent it with the application letter.
NOTE: I had indicated three prefered courses but attached an unconditional offer for one.
In the email for finalists the Secretsriat requested for only ONE unconditional offer letter out of the courses indicated in the application which the applicant would study incase he/she wins the scholarship.
