    Hi there

    Does anyone know when Hardiman scholarship applicants hear about being called for interview?

    Thanks.

    Yes. I phoned NUIG Graduate Studies yesterday and was told that applications are still being assessed but we will find out about shortlisting about a week before interviews (well, all who are shortlisted will find out anyway. Maybe those who aren’t will be waiting longer?! Not sure.) 🙂

    No. I’ve got a feeling it will be next week at this stage. Monday, I hope. I’m trying not to think about it but I still keep checking my emails!

    And you know, I’m not even too hopeful that I’ll get it! Any idea what the cut-off marks were last year?

    No clue, I had hopped to be at least shortlisted, but I know the number of scholarships is very small so was kinda just applying and hoping. No news still

    Nope, nothing. Might be worth calling at this stage and seeing what is up. My Msc supervisor said though that he expects me to hear back in a few weeks and the deadlines on the website might be incorrect. But at this stage who knows...

    A few weeks!? Don’t know if I could wait that long more! If there’s nothing by Friday, I might send another gentle email.

    I’ve applied for a scholarship in the humanities and heard back on Sunday, with the interview this Friday. Not sure if it’s the same in other departments though.

    Well done. Is it a Hardiman scholarship?

    Yes it is, but when I talked to my potential supervisor she said that the process is always delayed depending on the assessors, so perhaps they haven’t gotten around to contacting everyone.

    I got an email for an interview for tomorrow, so looks like they are contacting people. Good luck!

    Hi Dear,

    Although it's an old thread, I found this relevant to my current condition, I am going through the same process and waiting for the interview email, I applied for a Business and Management PhD. Any Idea about the interview email?
