Hi

I was phone interviewed for a PhD prog a few weeks ago, during the interview, they said that they haven't got funding commitment from their usual source for international studenys like me. However I stand a high chance and they will let me know if they get it.

Ive been scouting around now and Ive just been awarded a scholarship by an organisation in my home country for further PhD studies. Given this situation, should I call the uni to let them know that funding me isnt an issue now since someone else is paying full fees + allowance for me???

Im not sure how this may sound to them... but Ive taken in to account that I might get rejected on the basis of no funding but now that I have funding, wont that mean the decision of admitting me easier? Im not sure if that may sound like Im de-meaning the programme or anything

thanks and hope to hear some advice!

Tell them, unless you think that theres a possibility you might get two sources of funding. That would be neat.
