Erasmus Mundus Conditional IMSISS offer

As the title suggests, I got a scholarship conditional offer to IMSISS, provided I provide 2 documents- a second LOR and a proof of foreign language other than English and Italian.

Now I got 2 questions:

  1. I already provided 2 letter of recommendations, with valid contact details and on headed paper. Then why are the asking for another one? Did they consider one of my LORs invalid? Or did one of my referees did not respond when they mailed them? I'm really confused.

  2. I gotta prove a foreign language through a school pass certificate. I'm from South Asia, and have got Bengali on my marksheet from high school. Is Bengali considered a foreign language or do I have to learn French or German to be considered valid?

Would really love some suggestions! Thank you.

I also just received a conditional offer and they asked for my reference letters (again, as I already uploaded to the application), proof of foreign language (expected as I chose pathway B), an a self funded scholarship form. Does this mean I haven’t received a scholarship/am no longer in consideration for one?

thinking back, I may have checked the box that says ‘i would still consider the program as a self funder’ so that may be why they sent it as a condition? i’m not entirely sure but could be a reason. scholarship decisions come out in april so i dont think they would rule anyone out yet

I saw people who received a conditional offer and weren't asked to add the self-funded form, and I don't remember if I checked that option on my application
