I've sent two mails so far to ASF MCF and I didn't get any response. I wonder what's wrong with the process.


I hope this message finds you well. My name is Michael, and I am an applicant for the Mastercard Foundation Scholars Program at Arizona State University for the upcoming intake.

I am reaching out to inquire about the current status of the selection process. Specifically, I would like to know if candidates have been shortlisted for interviews, as there seems to be no specific timeline provided for this stage of the process.

I deeply appreciate the opportunity to apply for such a prestigious program and am keen to stay informed about any updates regarding my application. Any information you could provide about the process or timeline would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time and assistance. I look forward to your response.

I guess they are tired of responding to candidates questions. But to mean, it doesn't make sense at all. At least they should able to communicate a well detailed answer for all to see in their website, not keeping people in the dark. If they want to reject, let them do it now since they have already ask their finalist to interview, this way others rejected can move on abeg, and not keeping it till January 2025 for rejection.

Okay, but does anyone know someone who passed the first screening for the application fee waiver for McGill? Cos I heard it's rejection mails that have been sent so far

I noticed that too. How are we even sure they pick anyone..

Michael493:
I know the application for MCF at ASU ended about 25 days ago. I'm wondering if anyone has a timeline on when we will hear from ASU just like MCGILL has.
I've checked their website they have no timeline.

In this regard, I also couldn’t find any updates about them, so I emailed them. Apparently, they are not the type to provide early notices or updates about applications, leaving applicants in suspense until they reach out. I received a response from them yesterday when I inquired about the status, as they mentioned shortlisting for interviews this month. What I posted yesterday reflects their current updates on the applications. For now, I’m not focusing too much on it, but I encourage you to stay hopeful since the process is ongoing. All the best

Michael493:
time-line.
Nope. I didn't even get acknowledgement that my application was received

If you take a look at ASU FQA during the application, it was stated there when asked. They answered that they uses a format which is called Qualtrics Software, which enable them to receive your application when you applied. This implies that they don't send acknowledgment, but the software notified them to receive and access applications when submitted.

ProfSOlugunna:
No, I haven't.

Have you?

I later email them again to clarify this what they said "Finalists have been asked to interview. The process is on a rolling basis where everyone will know the final decision in January 2025".

ProfSOlugunna:
No, I haven't.

Have you?

No I haven't either but I sent them an email, I received an automatic response that state that their applications has close, and all applicants will be notified for the final decision by early 2025. Later on, one of their team reply that Candidates will know more by January 2025. What I don't understand is if there is still an interview before applying to the school(for shortlisted candidates) or not. This wasn't their initial statement, according the initial, it is only candidates who are shortlisted for both the scholarship and admissions that will be notified by Late January 2025.

ProfSOlugunna:
