Don't know if it's totally the same, but my Vanier letter starts like this: Dear X: I am pleased to inform you that you have been selected as one of the recipients of the 2017-2018 Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarships (Vanier CGS) awarded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC).

@HumbledBee : did you get your confirmation of commencement form?

exactly @Adelaide9216

I don't think you should decline a SSHRC CGS-D for a Vanier at all!

you can decline to re-apply for Vanier (but do you really want to do that?) defer...I don't know...

nothing!

The Vanier Secretariat told me on April 6 that this is normal for now. That's why I was wondering when you mentioned the confirmation of commencement form.

sounds good! we are on the same page

I was talking about the confirmation of commencement form (are you saying the Offer of Award is the same thing as the confirmation of commencement form?) I emailed Vanier about it and they said that eventually they will "process" the fact that I accepted the award and will email me to let me know that my confirmation of commencement form is ready and that I need to sign it and have my supervisor sign it I was wondering if you already got your confirmation of commencement form... (I also got an email from my institution as you did, and they told me I need that form as well)

Yes I did that and got the Offer of Award PDF so then where does the CFC Form come from after doing that/where do I get it/when?

huh? I still didn't get it!! is it normal? did anyone get it?

lol that's why I put my home address it's probably going to be over the summer of 2018 on the SSHRC website

my exact thoughts! you're not supposed to say anything publicly!

pretty sure you had to select September

yeah I know they meant a scholarship they wrote doctoral so it's unlikely the CGS-M?

money for you versus money for your lab/research

huh? institutions already know the results?! also it's a scholarship, not a grant

I got a FRQSC Master's and a FRQS PhD The profile of people winning is very similar to SSHRC and much less competitive than CIHR I would say. I believe you need a similar GPA to federal scholarships

It is possible that three will decline!!

I think it's because Vanier is all under CIHR (the administrative part). The logo of mine is CIHR but I'm under SSHRC.

I GOT THE SSHRC VANIER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CANNOT BELIEVE IT!!!!!!!!

Got the email!!! I can’t look

the 56th position sounds like a horror movie

Maybe while waiting we can get ready for the big day? How about we post the following when results are released: - awarded/rejected - agency - breakdown of scores in each category - overall ranking (I really need some distraction lol)

hi there and also bitting my nails, of course
