SSHRC Doctoral Fellowships & CGS D 2022-2023
maverick__ replied to VanessaB's topic in Waiting it Out
I have seen a few folks comment on CGS-D vs SSHRC, so I thought I would comment on my experience in case it helps. Last year I received CGS-D 35K 3 years. I am enrolled in an American PhD program. They ended up switching my CGS-D to a 4 year SSHRC. Best of luck everyone! -
I'm currently at the end of my first year in the program, and I just found out the SSHRC funding is for 4 years 2021 through 2025. Hope this helps with your planning/processing.
-
@asdf1123 really? Wow.. i wonder what that means for the rest of us. What about your scholarship for this past year?
-
@asdf1123 That's awesome! Thank you for sharing. It will definitely help me sleep tonight. Congratulations!
-
Thanks for your message @MuchSynergyWowSoIntersec Whoa! That is a long time to wait for a response. When I sent the email, the auto-reply said there would be a 4 business day turnaround. So hopefully that means I'll find out tomorrow, I'll definitely post an update if I hear anything.
-
@MuchSynergyWowSoIntersec@asdf1123@roxy31512 Have any of you heard back if the CGS-D will be converted to the regular SSHRC fellowship?
-
That's exciting! Congratulations on heading back to the world of academia. I'm in the US, currently in the first year of my program
-
@seeveeargh Thank you for your encouraging comment. I sure hope this is correct! Congratulations on your CGS-D award! Will you be studying in Canada or abroad?
-
@MuchSynergyWowSoIntersec There are a surprising number of us, I hope they convert the awards to SSHRC too. It seems like the CGS-D designation is based on our scores. The auto-reply email said there is a 4 business day turn around time.. I am so excited to tell my Advisor about the award, but I want to wait to find out first. Hopefully one of us will hear back soon.
-
Hey there @asdf1123 @MuchSynergyWowSoIntersec & @roxy31512 I'm in the same situation, I was awarded CGS-D and I am attending a University in the US. I called SSHRC today and they told me to send an email (which of course I did yesterday) I will let you all know if I hear anything. Congratulations on your awards!
-
For those who received the SSHRC doctoral fellowship (and are currently in the first year of your PhD program) did you receive 3 or 4 years of funding?
-
This happened to me too! Studying in the US and received CGS-D award. Hope we're still able to qualify for SSHRC! I'll email them as well and let you all know when I hear back.
-
Congratulations to those who received good news today! Have you all heard back from CGS and SSHRC? Are they awarded separately?
-
Thank you for sharing @stuart_d! Finally it is results month! So exciting. Best of luck to all of you :)
-
@usphd1920 thanks for sharing your insight. I am really hoping we're still able to begin our programs this fall ? Has anyone else heard if COVID-19 is impacting start dates?
-
Anyone else concerned COVID-19 will affect fall admissions?? ?
-
Thanks @Dfrost @usphd1920 @jash! Once this waiting period is behind us, we can look forward to moving and starting our graduate programs. This has been such a great community through the turbulent application process. It would certainly be great to meet up at a conference one day. ? In the meantime, I will post an update if I hear anything from UC Irvine as I know a number of us are still waiting to hear back. Congrats again to everyone who has been accepted to 1+ of their top programs! ??
-
I hadn't heard anything and was gearing up for 2021 applications, and then yesterday I found out I was accepted into one of my top programs ? So hang in there everyone, silence isn't necessarily a negative. There is still time. UC Irvine is taking forever.... I don't know if I'll wait it out, this other program made a great offer, and it seems fair that they would want a response right away. Best of luck on everyone's decisions, and for those of you still waiting to hear back, there's still hope. ?
-
It seems like some of the programs like UC Irvine (OB) haven't sent out interview requests yet, while others have already accepted their PhD applicants. How many programs are y'all still waiting/hoping to hear from?
-
Hope we all get some good news this week!
-
@futureOBdr I also applied for UC Irvine (OB) and I haven't heard anything yet either. Hopefully, no news is good news like @Dfrost said. The waiting period is more torturous than I had anticipated, but it sounds like that is magnified with your situation. I think there is still reason to stay optimistic until the end of February, a lot could happen in the next two weeks. Congratulations to all those who have received interviews and acceptances! Ph.D. applications are quite the wild ride, and it is great to hear that some of you have received some positive (and life-changing) news!
-
@DoktorDoktor Congratulations on the acceptances!! That is fantastic news. Sounds like you have some big decisions ahead of you. @jash Congrats on the 5 interviews, hope your acceptance emails start rolling in right away. I only applied to 4 programs (probably should have applied to more) so its still crickets on my end. But hopefully next week we all start to get some good news.
-
@usphd1920Agreed. The waiting is tough, especially when results are starting to go live. At least we have this online community. @HLB I only applied to 4 programs, and I haven't heard back from any either. Hopefully we will all start getting some good news this week. ?
-
Congrats @Bigredbear! That's fantastic news! Hopefully you'll hear back from your top programs before Feb 14. ?
-
Hi @grace1234 I haven't heard back from any of the programs I applied to yet, but I have been watching for updates regularly: https://www.thegradcafe.com/survey/index.php. It's addicting! We could hear any day now.
