The Awards Officer at UManitoba did respond, they said to wait for the letter. So the wait continues.

Just out of curiosity, has anybody from UManitoba been contacted that may be lurking in the shadows of this thread?

Hello All, First time posting, and it is only because I am in a bit of a predicament that I seek advice from random strangers on the internet. I have been accepted into UBC and OISE's Ph.D. programs for this upcoming fall. I am wondering if anyone currently at UBC or even another applicant with more web browsing acumen can tell me what level of flexibility I can expect after completing my course work? My area of interest is the history of education in Ontario and as an Ontario Certified Teacher I am trying to balance the security of a fully funded program at OISE versus an entrance scholarship with no guarantee of further funding from UBC, but with the added flexibility to be able to move and work anywhere in the country earlier in the process perhaps. Anyone with some insight would be greatly appreciated, especially those currently enrolled and possibly undergoing the comprehensive exams process already.

Hello all, I have been accepted into OISE and UBC Ph.D. programs and currently weighing my options. UBC needs to hear back from me by March 3rd and is offering a one-time entrance scholarship of $11000, whereas OISE is fully funded through 4 years. I was wondering if there was anyone who may have an idea about how flexible your time is after your course work is completed?
