I believe scholarship decisions came out today. My regional Admissions and Recruitment manager called me just now to tell me I got a partial scholarship.

Letters likely to be issued in the next few days.

I checked the portal earlier but didn’t see any update. Will everyone who gets scholarship be called?

Weirdly I still don’t have the email but I guess that’s why he called - to avoid me having to wait for the official email.
