paxi Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 Hello everyone! Is anyone here applying to the scholarship this year? I applied for the scholarship a couple of years back but was very disheartened that there was no response at all from the committee. Applying again this year. My Profile: 3-4 Years of experience in the UN system: UNFPA/UNRCO specifically. One year with Doctors Without Borders. Deferred admission to KSG MPA2. The quality of my references won't be too strong.
Jane312 Posted April 7, 2017 Posted April 7, 2017 Hello Paxi, I have applied for this scholarship too. Yesterday, I received a letter of acceptance from LSHTM (Public Health for Development). Re-forwarded the letter to JJWBGSP Secretariat, and received an automatic reply "We are responding to inquiries from applicants who have been short- listed by one of our partnership programs, and to their recommenders. The 2017 call for scholarship applications for a preferred masters degree is closed and we are not responding to any inquiry regarding this call and selection. All applicants awarded a scholarship from this call wil be notified by mid-July. We will not communicate with nor respond to inquiries from applicants who have not been awarded a scholarship."
Zian Posted April 7, 2017 Posted April 7, 2017 I have also applied, for Reading and Chicago Harris - waiting for decision from both. I have 2.5 years of experience with NGO and my recommendation letters I think are strong. However I have been already admitted to a couple of schools, some with funding, so not really sure how to proceed now. Really wish they'd notify earlier than mid-July! BTW, it says mid-June on the website.
thex11factor Posted April 9, 2017 Posted April 9, 2017 may I ask which World Bank Scholarship you applied to? are these geared towards students from developing countries and not domestic US students?

Hi Jane I applied for the Scholarship too. Can someone share their email id with me. I have to speak to them to figure out. This is such a confusing time
Jane312 Posted April 12, 2017 Posted April 12, 2017 Hello RS-Tz, I sent my mail to scholarshipapplicants@worldbank.org.

Jeronimo Posted April 26, 2017 Posted April 26, 2017 Hello guys, Has anyone of you received notification from the World Bank regarding the prefered programs process? These are the guidelines for this year: i. For master’s programs that provide a letter of acceptance before May 3, 2017: The JJ/WBGSP Secretariat will contact via email each finalist on or before May 1, 2017, and ask he/she to deliver via email by May 3, 2017, a scanned copy of the official letter of acceptance into a preferred master’s program that you have noted on your Application Form, with the letter either: unconditional or conditional only upon securing funding. ii. For the very few master’s programs that start providing letters of acceptance on or after May 3, 2017: The JJ/WBGSP Secretariat will contact via email each finalist on or before May 1, 2017, and ask he/she to deliver to the JJ/WBGSP Secretariat, via email within one week of the date of the letter of acceptance to a preferred master’s program that was noted on his/her Application Form, a scanned copy of that letter of acceptance. The letter of acceptance must be either unconditional or conditional only upon securing funding. Still a few days before May 1 but deadline is approaching.
Jane312 Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 Hello, Has anyone heard back from the Bank Secretariat to provide letters of acceptances?

Baturay Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 Hello everyone, is there any latest about notification of the semi-finalists? I applied to a preferred program in University of Manchester. Please lets keep ourselves up to date here.
rrahman1210 Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 Baturay, didnt u get any email? has anyone got any email asking to submit offer letter? Baturay 1
Baturay Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 Up till this moment, I have not receive any email to that effect. I am still waiting too. Or should it come by Monday, May 1st?
MH2 Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 Hi, Has anyone heard back from WBJJ? I got to know about someone who did.
Baturay Posted April 30, 2017 Posted April 30, 2017 MH2, may be the notification of the semi-finalists is batch by batch I think. When exactly was he notified?
MH2 Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 @Baturay The guy was notified on Friday. Looking at last year's WBJJ Gradcafe group, I gathered that the notifications were sent on 6th May to all the people. That's why I asked. Do you know of other people who have applied and have received the email?
rrahman1210 Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 MH2, where is he from? what did the notification say? can u inform a bit more? when is the last date to submit?
Baturay Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 (edited) @MH2, honestly I don't know of any one that got notified. As for me I don't know whether I will get the notification or not because I chose only one school and I got unconditional offer from them. Do I still have to be notified??? Edited May 1, 2017 by Baturay
MH2 Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 @Baturay I think they will still notify you. Even I got the unconditional letter from my top choice. I also attached the acceptance letter with my WBJJ app. But they still need to send the notification. Let's hope for the best
rrahman1210 Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 MH2 did u submit unconditional letter during application? did u get notification now?
MH2 Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 @rrahman1210 I submitted the letter with my app. Haven't received any email from WBJJ
