Hi all
Does anyone know how we discover if we have got a scholarship ? Is that when we're updated on our designated college?
You will always know whether you get funding by email. It’s not like PAO or the official offer where the application portal might provide info a few hours to a day or so before you get an email update. As for the time it takes to know, it tends to be much slower than the college decisions, although it’s not a requirement to have a college designated already to get a central scholarship.
Give it some time between now and July for the Trust scholarships - especially if you’re a UK national, as those tend to be somewhat slower than the international ones. The trust used to publish their trust scholars online, but it looks like they stopped with that (all recipients would be emailed well in advance before they published any names there anyway). I vaguely remember that the LLM cohort was fairly slow to have any scholarships published on the trust last year (might have been as late as some time in May, but I don’t quite remember), and the early birds were usually country specific (e.g., a designated trust scholarship solely for New Zealand applicants, etc.).
College scholarships can come in different ways. Some scholarships like the Tapp required a separate application in December or so, and I expect that many of them have already been allocated, or would at least soon be allocated. Some college scholarships only open up for consideration once you are allocated to a college (or they open up for application then). Time is of the essence for those ones, since many of them require that you got admitted to the college by a certain date. For example, Trinity Hall scholarships are only available if you made it to the college by 16 March this year. Some colleges like Wolfson will have a fairly late application deadline for scholarships once you are admitted. Those will obviously also make their decisions very late - think May-June. Other colleges might email you about scholarships that you can apply for once you are admitted to the college. Again, if you get stuck in the process at PAO or the college allocation, you might end up coming too late to the party there as well.
The faculty itself should have some bursaries which they will email you about eventually. These also should come later in the process, sometime in late spring or summer.
