Changing our start dates doesn't change anything except receiving our money later, right? I thought I was being all smart in deferring mine until January, in case the increased funding kicked in, but now I'm worried I'll lose out somehow... plz help my anxious brain!

I really relate to this! I actually cried from the sense of relief it gave me. But I didn't quite know how to feel happy!

Hi all-- firstly, thank you to everyone for still being active and discussing these budget increase-related concerns! I deferred my start date to January 2025, waiting to hear back on whether or not that requires documentation. I picked the latest possible date because I would like my award amount to reflect the budget increase (duh!). What start date did you all choose?

They responded to me in less than 24 hours to resolve my issue with Extranet!

That’s amazing news!!! Thank you so much! If your Dean knows anything, please impart what you can here. 😂

Anybody? (desperate, haha)

Mine says: CGS-Doc 2. The pdfs were not included on the extranet for me, so I'm desperately trying to contact SSHRC to find out the terms/amount of my award... 😕

Thank you for clarifying! There is nothing above the zip file. Weird! I’m kind of paranoid now that I actually wasn’t successful or something, since it’s incomplete…

I know, but my zip file is missing the two documents that were mentioned in the letter of acceptance (Notice of Decision and Notice of Award). Congrats on your SSHRC!

Does anyone know when the increase in funding will kick in?! Is it likely to start for people awarded SSHRC this season? Or will it be starting in our year 2?

I'm so sorry, to you and all who were disappointed.

I GOT SSHRC! 🤠🤯 Letter P, Committee 1! However, I cannot provide my score or stats because my zip file is missing two documents! WTF! Am I the only one missing these?

no. I’m currently sitting in a McDonald’s, feeling existential, casually waiting for SSHRC to dictate the next four years of my life.

wtf does recommended for funding mean then, if you don't get funded? haha. how frustrating!

Why is it such a shit show? Last year, my institution sent out emails to students saying they had received SSHRC funding only to find out, days later, THEY HAD NOT. I got one of those emails, but knew my application hadn’t even made it to the national competition so I ignored it.
