Thank you to everyone who helped publicise Ahdaf’s scholarship programme, and to all those who have submitted applications.

We received 108 applications. Four have been rejected as they were received after the deadline date, and 21 have been rejected as they are incomplete. We have 84 applications that are now being reviewed. The process is likely to take a few weeks. All unsuccessful applicants will receive an e-mail to let them know they have not been selected. Students who are shortlisted will be contacted to discuss their application further.
