Same. Good luck on your exam! I'm going to the theater tonight just to change my mind.

I was at home in my bedroom lol It was late at night. My supervisor emailed me shortly after to confirm that I was in!

I think I'd go on the workplace for a year as a social worker, work as a RA or teach at the university level and then re-apply to a PhD if I don't get a scholarship.

I would need tips as well. I'm so worried about not getting a scholarship that it's hard to let go and stay focus on what I can control right now (aka, finishing my master's thesis before Feb 15). If I don't get a scholarship, I won't be able to move in the university that has accepted me next semester. I applied to 5 different scholarships between September 2018 and this week. It's really hard to not to think about it. I will only get a decision between early April and end of April for all of those. I have two more months to wait, and it's painful to make people wait so long for something that's so crucial to their academic success

Hello, if you look at the criteria on the Vanier website, I think this would fall into leadership as they describe it. I also have these types of leadership experiences as well. They are especially looking for leadership outside of academia, not only within academia. Leadership (Potential and Demonstrated Ability): Given the prestige of the Vanier CGS program, this is an important criterion that has to be assessed in an indirect manner, since there is no opportunity for the selection committee to interview candidates. When evaluating this criterion, reference the instructions provided to candidates. More information on leadership is available in the SSHRC-funded study, Leadership at the Graduate Studies and Postdoctoral Levels [ PDF (260 KB) ]. When assessing the leadership criterion, consider how the nominee has gone above and beyond the expected norms in order to overcome obstacles, foster others, spearhead change, or otherwise demonstrate Leadership. Personal achievement Impactful involvement and achievement in professional programs/association such as sports, arts, science, business etc Entrepreneurial achievement (start-up company, establishing an NGO or charitable initiative, establishing arts/sports based festivals/competitions); Foreign study Involvement in academic life mentoring/teaching; supervisory experience; involvement in student government and in the institution community, including committees, teams, senate, boards, ethics committees, etc.; project/lab management; roles in academic/professional societies; organization of conferences, meetings, courses etc. Volunteerism/community outreach involvement in charity or not-for-profit organizations. Civic engagement parliamentary page positions and internships; political activity; elected positions Goal achievement a clear vision of what they want to accomplish; a developed personal vision for the future that defines a impactful/meaningful change for the community or a group, cause or organization; strategizes on how to achieve desired outcomes and has specific, realistic and timely goals. Self-management knows how to prioritize and complete tasks to reach the desired outcome and is confident of success; establishes learning goals and tasks; reaches goals in an efficient, organized and innovative way; and is constantly working on self-improvement Integrity acts consistently with core ethical and personal values and convictions; and accepts personal accountability for the consequences of their actions/decisions. Other characteristics is creative and takes initiative; is curious; deals well with complexity; has a strong sense of reality; is courageous; is strategic, a big-picture thinker; focuses on solutions, not problems; is capable of producing extraordinary results; and is able to solve real problems and create real products.

I found this in Google on this link https://www.mun.ca/sgs/current/funding/Vanier_Schs_Presentation_2018.pdf: Past Vanier Winners reported: Organizing/participating in volunteer activities 87% Taking on an administrative role 77% Promoting awareness for a particular cause 75% Participating in institutional associations 75% Educating youth or community groups 72% Participating in civic initiatives 65% Taking a leadership role in campus activities 57% Holding a position in a professional organization 47% Participating in campus media 46% Developing & executing a fundraiser 43%

I have just a few days to send out a polished version of my master's thesis to my supervisor. Plus, I am giving a talk to young girls this weekend, on top of everything else I have to do. I hope I'll make it. Other than that, I am going to see a play at the theater tonight. It's a play on sexual violence. Very timely and related to my research interests. Apparently, it's a really good play and I haven't gone to a theater in a long time. I'm excited (I'm going on my own. Me time!)

Urgghh. My current uni won't be able to fund my participation to a conference this summer because I will have graduated. My future uni can't fund me because I won't be officially registered yet (I start in September). What can I do?

So my uni told me that approximately 20 people apply to this scholarship at their institution So I have 1 chance out of 5 or out of 4 (approx.) to be selected...fingers crossed. I'll only know around Feb 20 if I made the cut or not.

I would email them just to be sure and explain that you're in the UK and applied directly from outside the country

I'm (finally!) meeting with my research coordinator and supervisor to discuss my master's thesis. I'm kinda nervous.

EDIT : Application submitted tonight.

Being "in between" two degrees during the summer (my master's and my phd) means I probably won't be able to get refunded if I want to attend conferences this summer because I won't be officially registered to an institution this summer. It sucks.

Submitted my application for a scholarship tonight. Got a new hairstyle.

Hello, I'm applying to a scholarship this week. I'm working on a publication that I hope to finish tomorrow if possible. Am I allowed to mention this publication, that it's in preparation (and probably is going to be submitted to a journal tomorrow) even if it hasn't been accepted yet by a journal?

My application file is now complete. I did not submit it yet, I am waiting to submit a first-author article that's almost done tomorrow if possible...and then I am going to submit my application before Friday.

I have similar research interests! I want to study sexual violence against women

thanks! I PM'd you.

Good luck to you too! It's kinda sad that each university can only send 4 files as opposed to 8 like in the past.

Who is Marie Kondo? lol everybody keeps talking about her, I had never heard of her before last week.

I am part of a research committee

Oh ok. But you can definetly explain why it's the case? I don't think you're the first one to whom this happens!

I received just a few minutes ago an acknowledgement of receipt by SSHRC for my Doctoral scholarship app.

I am only missing one LOR to my application. I don't believe I'll get the award but it's still worth trying, who knows.
