Sorry, but I have to let it out!!
I want to apply for a scholarship at my country, and among other things I need a document verifying that I am a PhD student at my X university and I will now be at my second year.
Is it so difficult?
I have asked admin staff to send me one. I have emailed them 3 times (the last one yesterday morning) indicating that it is urgent, as the deadline for application is on June the 16th, and still no response.
What else can I do? If I don't get this letter, I won't be able to apply for the scholarship and as a result I will end up losing 13000 euros! I think it is unfair as I am certain that I will get it, since it depends on the people that apply in every geographical area, and where I live, I am the only one applying.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr:-s:-s

If you don't get a quick reply I'd recommend phoning them up about it. Or going to see them in person. Phoning might be easier though. Good luck!

Annoying I know, but given that so much is up for stake, I would just go in to uni and see admin in person, they would probably print it out as you wait. It is too easy for ignore an email. Good luck.

Can you go and see the admin people in person? Alternatively, can your supervisor/head of department write a letter and then admin just need to stamp it?

Know what you mean though (about some admin staff...)

Going there in person was the best thing, but it can't be done, as I am in my country doing my research. So, I guess I will have to phone them or email my supervisor, who is very helpful and understanding and maybe she can prepare the letter for them.:-s

Well, my supervisor sent me the document.
Although I called the admin staff, there was no answer!!!! I nearly lost the scholarship, because someone is not doing his job...
I think it is sad, at least!!!!
