The fellowship card currently says only that applications closed early and are under review. That is true and it does not answer what applicants are writing in to ask.

Four have asked in the past week, and all three of their questions are the same: is selection still open, has the timeline changed, is anything more expected of them. Each has been answered individually by mail with the same facts. This puts those facts on the page.

Before

Applications closed early on 26 August 2026 due to exceptional volume. Existing applications are under review, and selected candidates will be contacted directly.

After

Applications closed early on 26 August 2026 due to exceptional volume. More than 150 applications are under review. The fellowship will not start in September as originally planned. The schedule and decision timeline are being reviewed and there is no firm notification date yet. Applicants do not need to send anything further; the submitted proposal is what is assessed. A revised timetable will be published here once it is confirmed, and applicants will be contacted directly.

The wording deliberately matches what individual applicants have already been told, so anyone comparing notes finds the same status rather than a different one. No reason for the delay is given and no date is promised.

The card said applications had closed and were under review, which does not
answer the question applicants are actually asking. Four have written in the
past week wanting the same three things: whether selection is still open,
whether the timeline moved, and whether anything more is expected of them.

Each got the same answer by mail. Putting it on the page costs one paragraph
and removes the reason to ask: more than 150 applications, no September start,
no firm notification date, nothing further needed from applicants, revised
timetable published here when confirmed.

Wording matches what has already gone to applicants individually, so someone
comparing notes with another applicant finds the same status.
