I just spoke with my Faculty of Graduate Studies Scholarship Coordinator. Two interesting bits of information. One, SSHRC sent an email to her stating the results for the doctoral competition will be mailed on monday the 25. Two, that recipients of awards were told not to contact SSHRC to accept their award until they had received their notice in the mail. Also, if anyone else is having issues with being unable to pay the rent this month because of the delay in SSHRC's response, I would suggest you ask your Graduate Studies representative to issue you a "correction check" once you have received the mail from SSHRC. This is the process I will be going thru so I can pay my rent.

This is in regards to the privacy issue surrounding why universities do not release "the list." One reason may be that the list the universities receive have both successful and unsuccessful applicants. In contrast, the list released in August has only the successful applicants listed. While some people may not care if the world knows they were not successful in receiving a sshrc, there are surely many individuals that do not want future institutions for whom they may work to know that they did not receive an award. Just a thought. By the way, this does not mean they are in anyway justified in not having an internet based login system for us to determine our results. The fact that administrators know the course of our future before we do is ridiculous. Best of luck

Hey Gang, I have not been on the boards before but I found them a week ago and they helped me through the stress. I received a PHD CGS for 3 years. I am at the university of regina. I had to go to my graduate studies scholarship rep in person to find out, but I would have not known to check without the efforts of everyone here. Thank you all for keeping me sane. Much Love & Good luck to everyone.
