My department at McGill says they received notice of the winners from the graduate studies office, but that students should be receiving notice from SSHRC. In other words, they know, but aren't allowed to tell me. Well, I'm sure the letters are on their way by now. Probably another week or so and most people will have their letters!

Getting a bit antsy now. When I emailed SSHRC earlier this month about an information change, they said it's best to wait til results are out. On this same email from May 1, they said "Results of the Master’s competition will be sent by regular mail later this month." I'm in Vancouver. Friend last year said she heard in early June, which is just awful. I mean, they've had our applications for about 104 years, and the doctoral SSHRCs are already adjudicated!

Hey guys! I figure I might as well add my stats, if it helps. I was forwarded this year to the Ottawa competition, receiving my notice on February 5. 1st year MA at McGill. Had an 89% average last two years, and this year I received an RAship and a minor entrance scholarship. My understanding is that forwarded applicants have a pretty good chance of getting it. I was put forth as an alternate last year and did hear back from SSHRC ever, unfortunately. Does anyone know if the clawback is the same at the PhD level? I'm particularly interested in the UofT PhD program, which apparently offers tuition paid + 15k. If you get the doctoral SSHRC, do most schools tend to claw back the tuition offer too, or just the fellowship money? And do American schools claw back their financial support if they know you have a SSHRC? Thanks for the help, guys.
