Yes. Maybe this is the case in all committees

This morning, I sent an email to my committee (SSHRC) informing them of my acceptance of the award. Shortly after, I received an automated reply which included the following message: "Due to technical issues, results for the 2023 Doctoral Awards competition have not yet been shared with all applicants as initially anticipated. SSHRC continues to gradually release results directly to applicants via the SSHRC Extranet for Applicant and candidates might still be waiting for their results. The result notifications should be sent to all applicants over the next few days. In addition, due to a high volume of logins on our platform, candidates may experience difficulties accessing their account. We invite them to be patient as we work to resolve this issue. "

Thank you! I received the results directly from SSHRC two days ago. Yesterday, my university sent me an email asking for an update on my outcome, indicating that they were not informed of the results before the students.

I just received the email and got the award (SSHRC)! Finally!

Any update for SSHRC?

Did anyone from SSHRC get an email?

Congratulation! Hope everything goes well for you from now on!

I thought to provide a concise summary of my resume for those who may be considering applying for the Vanier scholarship in the future: (I know it is different year by year, but when I was researching about this scholarship, I would have liked to see the resumes of those who won Vanier (or went to the Ottawa stage). I think it gives a general view.) Last year, my application (Sub-group SSHRC ) was not forwarded to Ottawa by my university. However, this year it was, and I ultimately ranked 103 out of 200 applicants! Here are the key highlights from my CV: (that I remember now) Academic Excellence: This year, I was in the second year of my doctorate: GPA 4 First Master’s degree (from outside Canada): GPA 4 Second Master’s degree (from Canada): 3.91 Peer-reviewed Publication: 4 Conference Publication: 1 Exhibition Publication: 1 Submitted paper: 1 Papers in progress: 2 Conference: 8 (including in-person presentations in Scotland, America, Canada, and some online) Invited talk (related to my field): 3 Podcast guest on my research topic: 1 ****************** Leadership: Being the High school principal: (with about 50 staff and 300 students): 2 years High school teaching experience: 7 years A factory production line supervision experience: 2 years (my bachelor's degree is in engineering, and I worked a few years as an engineer!) Editor-in-Chief of a student magazine: one year Experience many years of voluntary work in various charities (I am a Co-founder of a charity that has been active since 2015, working in building schools and educational development in underprivileged areas in the Middle East) Member of various university and department committees (EDI committee, research committee, etc) and continuous cooperation in organizing various Academic workshops and conferences, cultural and sports events for students, etc. Worked as a Project Supervisor with many private educational companies outside of Academia And more! ****************** Research Potential My Ph.D. research is related to charity and is directly aligned with my leadership activities (in fact, these activities and lived experiences have led me to this field of research) ****************** These are my ranks: (I received yesterday - April 12, 2023) 1. Academic Excellence: 5.32 2. Research Potential: 5.27 3. Leadership: 6.18 Overall Average score: 5.59 Good Luck On Your Vanier Journey!

I didn't get it either!

Yes, I can't stop thinking about the result! In case of my university, you've mentioned good points, but I think it doesn't seem quite fair to make someone wait until their second year to potentially win a scholarship, especially if they have a strong application and could have won it in their first year. It feels like they would be losing out on the $50,000 they worked hard for in the previous stages. It would be better if the award was truly based on merit (Vanier's criteria), whether it's in the first year or the second year. Anyway! Best of luck for all of us!!

@Mmsa I'm not sure why it didn't forward! The university did not assign me a rank and only provided a very generic explanation! But later I discovered (based on my own review of previous winners) that in recent years they only forwarded students in their second year of PhD, not their first! Except for the grades I received in my first year and two or three conferences, I couldn't add much to my application this year, but it was forwarded! (Perhaps because I was already in my second year??!!) - I am not sure! And last year, two weeks before the final deadline, our university announced the internal results, and I was not among the chosen. Those chosen had two weeks to finalize their applications and submit them to Ottawa. Like this year!

Hi Guys! I'm waiting too! Last year my application was not forwarded to Ottawa! And non of the SSHRC-forwarded ones got the award in my university!!! And this makes me even more nervous!

I got rejection letter as well ! ?

Thanks @Adelaide9216 Good luck guys!!

I'm nervous as well! But not so much. honesty I don't have so much hope to go forward. I worked 4 months on my Vanier application and I did so well. But I was rejected at the uni level!! ?? So, I didn't put so much time on this, as I think it is more competitive! Anyway, tomorrow our situation will be clear! At what time of day do you think we should wait for the email? Do those who are not accepted also receive emails?
