77 days! congrats!

Nice!!

same! didn't get that "acknowledgment of application" email

and yes, each school has a quota to submit to the national competition; I believe your application is now being reviewed by Ottawa you'll hear from them in April approx.

Good luck! Quite a process...

3 months!

probably not required but you are a more attractive candidate if you have

Congrats!

OMG still nothing?!

Absolutely. My institution makes it mandatory actually (i.e., if you apply for Vanier/Trudeau, you have to apply for the regular CGS simultaneously). Currently nominated for Vanier and regular CGS.

Probably by 5 pm...let me know once your hear back! Good luck!

so happy for you! great holiday gift!

Just got an email from my institution. I got forwarded to the national competition!

email them! soon they will be on vacation and it's going to be even harder/impossible to reach them...

follow-up?

yeah I was just gonna say write to them and explain the situation...especially because the PDF says the real one let us know what they say! good luck!

yeah that's super odd...of course you should still apply for Vanier/Trudeau...especially if you have perfect average now... and yeah SSHRC is more prestigious because it's a federal scholarship but my understanding is that there are more SSHRC than FRQSC so that's probably why

I don't think not having FRQSC will break your chances of having another scholarship...This is gonna sound very harsh but if you are not eligible for a FRQSC because of your grades (according to THEM...I am legit just repeating), perhaps it could be the same for a Vanier/Trudeau (which are extremely competitive)? Hopefully I'm wrong!!

OMG I am SO sorry!! I read that with chills in my body! All the hours you spent on the application *hug*

yeah i know it doesn't mean anything

I know someone who had 8 mistakes in their personal statement and who won (Vanier) I also know someone who had a typo in their title for a FRQSC scholarship and who won

Let me know if you hear anything--thanks!

The beauty of scholarship applications

Horrible system! They should let everyone know about all decisions at every step

thanks! so it's normal we haven't heard yet?
