  1. Update: found the physical letter in my mailbox today. Maybe your department doesn't email you until they know it's going to arrive. I'm in Ottawa, if that's useful to anyone. Anyone know how the scoring works?
  2. Just got an email from my department letting me know I got the CGS Doctoral Scholarship for three years. Good luck to the rest of you waiting on results. Such a huge relief!!!!
  3. Also got confirmation (also from Carleton) that my application was received. Good luck everyone!
  4. I only TA during the year so the hours thing might be worth looking into, thanks! I applied for a summer TA position but unfortunately did not hear back.
  5. Hello everyone, I have a huge issue that I could really use some advice on. I am going into the second year of my MA program. I won OGS for 2014-2015 and I registered for the summer term for "thesis" thinking I could live frugally with the $3,700 I have leftover after summer tuition and get a head start on my thesis. However, my long term relationship is dissolving and I need to find my own place to live. To offset the costs of moving and higher rent (the cheapest bachelor apartments in this city are $700/month), I would need to pick up a summer job but OGS says you can not work longer than ten hours a week which cuts me off from most work. I likely won't get my fall funding or TA paycheck until October, although I can get a TA pay advance of $700. I emailed the awards office about it and the lady said that she can't do anything about if I work off-campus but that the Canadian Revenue Agency might audit me and give me trouble if I go that route. Aside from having to pay back my scholarship if I am found out, what are other consequences? Would it jeopardize my scholarships for next year? Am I completely screwed unless I find an under the table job? I already paid for tuition for the early summer term and have passed the refund date. Also, if I dropped the scholarship completely I wouldn't make much more than the amount at a minimum wage job anyways. I feel really stuck and I am from a poor, single parent family so I don't have anyone I can ask for money.
