So happy for everyone who got it and that the wait is over. Unfortunately I did not receive funding. Dissappointed, but I'm still up for some University funding so hoping maybe that will come through for me in the end and there is always next year 🤞

Someone in the SSHRC office needs to put down their morning coffee and push the button to get the L-Z rolling!!

Oh awesome! My background is theology but I'm in the history faculty to do history of Christianity. Still waiting on the college is a pain! I just got mine a couple of weeks ago. It's Lincoln College and thankfully they have a bunch of scholarships, but require additional application forms ASAP. And yes the increased funding makes things almost spot on thankfully.

Oh that's awesome! What department and college? And yessss! It's so expensive especially when you factor in exchange rate.

No I don't. I'm starting at Oxford this fall and don't currently have any funding. However, Oxford is still making funding decision particularly when it comes to college funding so there is still hope. It won't be until June that all funding decisions are made on the Oxford front which is a bit torturous but the academic year there doesn't start until October. I'm not sure what happens if I get both but I this point I'm not feeling lucky enough to get two things. I'm just hoping for one and will cross that bridge if I'm lucky enough to get to it.

Just to contribute I'm L (yes right at the &*%#ing cut off) and in committee 2 and got my email about an hour ago but I was out and about so didn't get a chance to log on here.

It could be alphabetical or it could be based on committee. I'm guessing that it's based on committee because that's how it went last year due to what happened when the system crashed.

To distract us today would everyone like to share what they are working on subject-wise?

I truly hope so and that nothing goes wrong like last year. We all just need this to be over.

The news article that I read said the increased amounts would begin in the 2024-2025 year. https://universityaffairs.ca/news/news-article/graduate-student-scholarships-to-increase-for-the-first-time-in-two-decades-in-research-heavy-federal-budget/#:~:text=For example%2C the SSHRC doctoral,organization through the same portal.

I'm just really trying not to think about it at all. But it's getting hard!

I just joined this thread, but saw your post from way back. Hopefully you got your acknowledging receipt. I also applied directly and got my acknowledgement 12/21/23.
