Hi, I wanted to share the good news too! I was offered a PGSD3 award from NSERC yesterday. I'm so happy! ? Congrats to every one!

It was my last chance and I didn't apply this year again. I know that last year the shortlist candidate in my group with my rank received the scholarship. it's close to the end of the fiscal year and I'm not sure if we have any chance to receive it yet or not? I sent them email but didn't get any response. Maybe, we should call them!

Did anyone on the alternate list get news from NSERC yet? I know that I am the first rank among the shortlisted candidates based on the success rate that is published. but I didn't receive any email from NSERC. I'm totally disappointed!

Wow! It’s a great news! Actually I know someone in my field who rejected his NSERC last year! So I’m so optimistic ? I wish good luck to everyone.

I also contacted them and they said that the results for the 2020 competition have not been made public yet and decision to elect candidates place on the alternate list to be offered an award is not made yet either. They also said the election will start with those on the top of the list, and there is no guarantee for those place on the shortlist that they will get an award. I didn't apply for the next year, because I passed my second year of PhD. so, I think still there is a little hope! good luck everyone.

we're in the same boat! I am 30/71 in committee 197 (top 42 %). I think I am right on the border! Please let me know if you heard back from NSERC.
