  1. Hey all, hang in there! Thanks for this thread and these interesting conversations! I hope we get news today I just wanted to add to this conversation that not all PhD students are able to apply. Many have to work many jobs outside the university to support themselves and members of their family. One person in this thread said they will not be able to apply again because they will need to work full time if they don't get the award this year. Another issue I have encountered is supervisors that discourage students, telling them it is a waste of their time or that they won't get it anyway. I know the PhD is a financial, health and mental health struggle for many of us in this thread. But we should also acknowledge our privilege to be able to even apply and find the time to have written a strong proposal (with all the stress and anxiety it provokes). Many of us have the privilege to have support from faculty and colleagues in this journey. And some of us have a funding package that, while we might struggle, allows us to have less extra work. Many PhD students (I am sure in this thread) have no funding packages.
  2. Nothing from Concordia yet (and nothing in the mail either)! I emailed the graduate awards office, no response.. (Graduate-Awards@concordia.ca).. it's Dolly Grewal who takes care of sshrc, I emailed her and I got an automatic reply saying she won't be in her office until May 3rd.
  3. The tweet was sent! Watch your mailbox in the following week!
