Given the context of the previous email you sent, I am assuming this is
more a complaint that you didn't get selected than that the other two got
selected.
Similarly to the previous time you tried to have this discussion - I feel
uncomfortable to make this about individuals.
Is there a way to give rejected applicants more feedback on which factors
play a main role, so that they can learn from it, especially if there is
something they could improve in their application. I would add two
sidenotes here though: it should only be provided on request (no need to
rub people's noses into something unnecessarily) and it seems only viable
at a level that can be easily extracted from the process (high level).
Perhaps someone who knows the scholarship committee's work intimately could
comment.
Best,
Lodewijk
