    SSHRC 2010

    Doesn't the term 'bursaries' imply we're all charity cases? Oh, wait.

    Bursaries and scholarships are not synonymes? In french (I'm francophone) we call them "bourses" so I just translated to "bursaries".

    Congrats, student4life! Hopefully this is the first of an avalanche of good news.

    Thanks! :) I have been on cloud nine since founding out the news. I'm sure there are more bursaries to come! Good luck to everyone...

    Congratulations! That's excellent news!

    Mind if I ask: When did you find out? Did you have to ask them, or did it just come out of the blue?

    EDIT: Wait - I think I got that wrong... did you get the small SSHRC right away? I originally read that as you had been on the waiting list and have now moved up to a small SSHRC, and are still waiting on the big one, but I think that I've misunderstood.

    (Either way, congrats!)

    Sorry for the confusion. Right away I was granted s small SSHRC and at that time I was fourth on the list to get bumped up to a big. Now I am the next one on the list. So there has been movement to get bumped up to a big one in my subgroup...

    No SSHRC news in a while, I guess? Has anyone ventured to email about their status?

    I have been granted a small SSHRC for three years (with a score of 21.1). At the beginning, I was fourth on the waiting list to get bumped to a big SSHRC. Now, I am the next one (an agent told me by email). Keeping my fingers crossed...

    Just A quick question for those with experience; I was wondering how good my chances are about being bumped up to a 105,000 SSHRC. I was told my a SSHRC employee that "the last person offered a CGS (in your sub-group) was 3 people above you, but only one of the two between you was eligible for CGS. So, two people would have to decline the CGS to take up the SSHRC in order for you to receive a CGS offer."

    My score was 19.80 and I am starting my PhD in History in September. Without getting too specific, what are the chances that I get bumped up, are there generally alot of foreign-based applicants who win the CGS, how big are sub groups. Any information about my chances would be appriciated

    I have been trying to find this out for myself (I have been awarded a small SSHRC for three years with a score of 21.1/30) for the past two weeks, unfortunatly, the SSHRC officer I landed on told me she couldn't give me this info. However, she did tell me that there are 3 Vaniers in my sub-group (who were also awarded a big SSHRC). Good luck to you ;)!

    So am I understanding correctly: Some people who have been granted a Vanier Scholarship are still being awarded a regular doctoral scholarship (big or small), therefore, when they refuse their doctoral scholarship for Vanier some people with a small SSHRC will be bumped to a big SSHRC and some people on the waiting list will be bumped to a small SSHRC?
