Incomplete applications will not be taken into consideration. Read carefully the list of documents and make sure you attach everything to your application, including translations.
You can save the form once filled out and submit the documentation afterwards, but before the deadline.
No document may be sent by post or email at this stage.
Appeals Procedure
Please read the Selection Criteria as well as the Application Procedure carefully before submitting an appeal:
Candidates who fail to provide the required documents within the established timeframe may not submit an appeal.
Candidates who followed the Application Procedure and respected the Deadlines but were denied selection due to unmet Selection Criteria and have reasons to believe that a mistake has been made during the selection procedure have the right to appeal the Selection Board’s decision.
How to Submit an Appeal
The appeal procedure is concerned with how your proposal was handled in the evaluation and eligibility-checking process. It is not an automatic re-evaluation. Please note that new information or clarifications that should have been in the proposal will not be taken into consideration.
If after reading the above mentioned conditions you still have reasons to believe that a mistake has been made, please send an email to info@maiamaster.org explaining your claims within 15 days after the notification date. We will evaluate your case individually and notify you as soon as a decision has been made.
