What to write in appeal for a rejected PhD application? I have applied for PhD scholarship in Computer science at a European university. My master is from Malaysia. Unfortunately, my application has not been selected (only 9 has been chosen among 116 applicants). 

The email I received informs me that I can file an appeal form attached against the decision made by the committee. Although having a form is supposed to be helpful, I have not written such an appeal before and am not sure what to write. The form is one page (A4) and five lines of it starts with 


  I expose


and I have to fill the five lines and other five lines start with 


  And therefore, Kindly ask you for.


The question is, what should I write here? I have no idea about appeals and their justifications and consequences. The only thing I can add since my original application is that another paper has been published. I really believe I am very strong candidate for the program as it conforms exactly to my research area (which I had published two conference paper in). 

My question is therefore, what and how to write in the two sections of the form if I decide to write an appeal?
You don't say why you are appealing the decision.  If only 9 out of 116 applicants got a scholarship, then it is overwhelmingly likely that they turned down many strong applicants.  Do you have a good reason to believe that your application is stronger than the 9 who received the scholarship?  

I hope you're not under the impression that simply not having received an award is grounds for appealing the decision.  What if all 107 unsuccessful applicants appealed the decision?  The program would surely have to reconsider having an appeals process or perhaps even giving out the scholarships at all.
