The trustees aim to inform successful applicants within within two months of the relevant closing date. If you do not receive any acknowledgement within two month of the relevant closing date, you must assume that your application is not successful as we do not contact unsuccessful applicants.
The trustees consider that the advice and instructions given here should enable applicants to decide for themselves on the eligibility of their proposed applications and the trustees will not reply to general questions about eligibility. Nor will the trustees discuss reasons for applications being unsuccessful.
