Category A = CGS (36 months of funding at $35,000 per year) Category B = Doctoral Fellowship (1, 2, 3, or 4 years at $20,000 per year) Category C = Your choice of A or B (since you probably put a foreign institution as your school on the application) Hope that helps.

Ha. Graduate work takes you in directions you never could have foreseen. If only SSHRC judged research ability by our conscientious study of this forum, what we know about the adjudication of awards at the institutional and federal level, and our investigation into mail delivery, then we would all have funding.

I spoke to my grad administrator today, and she seems to think that we will find out this week. I suppose the mid May thing was just to forestall harassment by crazed grad students. Probaby a good idea.

I much prefer this scenario. Maybe mid May is the very end of when people will get their letters? However, SSHRC might just be giving out different dates to different people. I tend to believe the information that SSHRC sends to the awards offices over what they tell us. It seems like they would piss off all the wrong people if they lied directly to the offices.

Okay, it looks like I was a bit hasty. I just got this email from grad studies: "We have been notified by SSHRC that the 2010 competition results will be announced by mid May." Sorry. It looks like we have a while yet before SSHRC releases any results.

My department got this message yesterday from grad studies: SSHRC results - update SSHRC is ‘currently in the process of producing the National Doctoral results for the beginning of next week and the Master’s results should follow shortly after’. It is hoped the scholarship office will know these results by the end of next week. Maybe the optimists were right and we will have results by early next week?

And, the answer is... unsuccessful. Anyone who is still waiting for UofC, just call FGS and ask directly for your results. Apparently, if you act like they should tell you, they will. Good luck. Again, congratulations to everyone who won an award this competition. It helps me feel better about SSHRC (and my unsuccessful application), knowing that some of my fellow stressees are happy and holding a bag full of money. For anyone in my boat, we should definitely keep in touch for the coming competition. Read each other's proposals and comment. Remind each other that it is just money, nothing to lose our heads over. :wink:

Congrats, pixiepixie. So... UofC has only just released MA results? Did you get an email from FGS or did you have to wait for your letter from SSHRC? This is so frustrating. I was hoping to find out my results before the next round of scholarship applications (all due today). I guess I had better work on that...

Thanks, Neatgirl. I appreciate it. I am just going crazy, here. Stinkin' Alberta. I can't believe that UofA is holding out, also. What is the point? FGS just keeps telling me that SSHRC will mail out letters next week. Seriously? The results are already a month late. If I have to wait for notification from SSHRC, I might be waiting until June. I just want to know either way what my status is. Waiting will not make me feel better if I didn't get a SSHRC.

Congratulations to everyone who has won a SSHRC! I'm so jealous of everyone who has had news. UofC is still holding onto the results and have no intention of letting anyone know anything anytime soon. What is there to "go through?" It's a list of names.

For anyone waiting on news from the University of Calgary... FGS got the results an hour ago and need to "go through the results" before sending out emails to students. Apparently, their computers have been down most of the day, as well, and this has been causing some delays. I couldn't get a timeline on when the results would be shared. Just "asap."

Congrats Christopher and Rosee!

Congratulations! Super impressive.

I would like to believe that last few weeks of SSHRC obsessing is a sign of my excellent research capabilities, but I am pretty sure that it just means that I need a hobby.

Obsessive googling: https://secure.nserc.ca/u_e.htm EDIT: If you go to Douglas College on the drop-down menu, you can see what the information looks like that the schools have access to. For whatever reason (loss of quota, maybe), this school does not need a password. I have to believe that if I had a real job, I wouldn`t know this.
