Long time lurker, first-time poster.
My department contacted me today...I got an SSHRC doctoral award! This is VERY unexpected as I have been rejected and wait listed in the past. This was the last year that I was eligible so I will be receiving 20,000$ over a 12 month period. To those who have been rejected or wait-listed, do not lose hope! I was persistent, I kept applying and was pleasantly surprised.
Here are my stats:
3rd year - Doctorate in psychology
Masters SSHRC
1 peer reviewed article
1 accepted manuscript
2 peer reviewed conferences
2 non peer reviewed conferences
GPA - grad: 4.0, undergrad: 3.9
Don't know my rank in my department...probably top three
4 RA, 1 TA
Qualitative study
I don't know my score as I have not yet received my letter. I will keep you guys posted!
Congrats to all who got funded! And for those of you who weren't so lucky (I know it sucks, I was there), keep your head up high and keep applying!
