Has anyone heard back from KCL about scholarships? Am hoping to make a final decision in the next couple of weeks, so would like to know whether I will be getting one of the £5,000 international student scholarships or such.

I haven't heard anything... I applied for funding in January. And I haven't been able to log on to the bloody mydigs thing to apply for accommodation either...

I ended up emailing the address listed on the funding page and got the following (non-)response:

"Applications for Postgraduate Taught (PGT) funding are currently being processed as part of the selection process and these will be sent to the academic Schools for assessment and shortlisting very soon. Results will be announced from May. The PGT funding Guidance document provides details of the selection process see the link here for a downloadable copy: http://www.kcl.ac.uk/graduate/funding/funding1011."

So, looks like they won't make funding decisions for another couple of months. I have no idea how a university could expect applicants to be happy with this, as we need to make decisions as to where we will be going *before* aid decisions are made...
