  1. I just e-mailed scholarshipsadministration@sshrc-crsh.gc.ca and asked!
  2. Hi all, Someone had suggested we had the ability to reach out to SSHRC re: our score breakdown, which I did! They give you your exact score from your committee members if you e-mail to ask. Information relevant to committee #3B below :) Hard to know I was only 5 away from being awarded, hahaha! Better luck next year. Total Score Rank Success rate and rank necessary to be offered an award 14.85 / 20 81 / 151 Success rate of the competitions: 42.94% The top 65 ranked applications of 151 applications submitted to Committee 3B were offered awards.
  3. Any updates on this? Also holding onto this pipe dream with a death grip right now LOL
  4. Congratulations to all those who received, and solidarity and hugs to those who didn't. Reviewing this thread has made me feel so much better about my lack of success this round. Wanting to share my app in depth for those also seeking to make sense of how arbitrary this all seems to be. I am a current MA student who applied through my institution where it was indicated I was in the 2% of top applicants (department members and institutional reps who help us review were convinced I would receive based on my application). I was applying for 1st Year PhD starting this fall (already accepted with institutional scholarship funding for three years.) I was a 1st Year MA SSHRC recipient, have two provincial scholarships, multiple graduand awards from my undergraduate with Dean's List every year, and a major two-year institutional scholarship for my MA. I had a 4.0 undergrad GPA, and 92% for the current MA courses I was registered in when I was applying. I have a strong work history (administrator prior to university education), lab and research experience. Only one solo-authored publication, but multiple team ones and nearly a dozen conference proceedings. Actively involved in my department and community as a volunteer with involvement on a variety of research projects. I am in good standing with my references (particular my supervisor who is constantly funded and on the SSHRC/CIHR "favorite" list). I was declined - not even wait listed with a 14.85 from Committee Three. I know the university where I am wanting to do my PhD is small so there are few allocations which may play a factor, but I was also offered MA SSHRC for all programs I applied to and my proposal was fairly similar (PhD is expanding on my MA findings I was funded for). My department has repeatedly indicated I am one of the strongest grad students in the college (which is why I keep winning the institutional scholarships) so we are thinking this was predominantly about the committee I had not liking or seeing the value in my proposed research. Also, I did have a minor medical disruption at the very beginning of my program so I have a withdrawn on my transcript so I am wondering if that is also a factor, here. ALSO - goes without saying: to everyone following this thread, you are still an amazing scholar and junior researcher even if you didn't receive SSHRC! Getting to the point of even qualifying is huge, so sending solidarity to all those who ended up spending yesterday afternoon sad and disappointed (like me)! Keep going ❤️
