not sure! it is confusing. I got the full amount for the 2012-2013 school year, too. a strange but welcome surprise
-
no, it doesn't go through the school. the school registrar has to sign a form confirming you're registered, but technically you don't even ever have to tell your department. you send a form, they send you a big cheque. biggest cheque I'll probably ever get haha.

I just received an email yesterday notifying me that I had been chosen to receive a reward off the wait list. I was wait listed in last year's competition and had given up hope ... I'm in my second year of a sociology doctoral program. my score was 18.6. good luck everyone! the wait list is finally starting to move!!
-
good question! it sounds like you'd have to ask your school... assuming it is a school policy that you can't receive sshrc and a fellowship at the same time? (because I don't think that is a sshrc policy)
-
based on the threads of past years it seems like the waitlist maybe doesn't start to move until the end of August? and then it does so until around February. so ... more waiting!
-
no news. sshrc didn't return my call either :/ waiting more = not so fun, eh?
-
hey - thanks for this! what number did you call? I would love to know the high and low waitlist scores for my group ... I've tried one number but it goes straight to an answering machine ...

oh my goodness, folks, if you don't have to teach and TA don't do it!! you are overworked enough already - focus on getting your PhD done and be grateful that you have been granted the opportunity to work on it without the distraction of teaching and TA-ing! I have to teach (fully teach, not TA, and without a TA) two courses per term while taking a full course load in my PhD program - I would kill to have the time to put into writing things for publication, which is what actually matters in this whole game ... sheesh! take the opportunity you've been granted, and research and write. it is a luxury you will likely never have again.

my partner holds a sshrc doctoral award at his american university and he didn't explicitly tell his department for that exact purpose - so that he could retain his funding from them. it has worked out for the last two years!

wait-listed in Winnipeg this whole process is just too exhausting! haha. ugh. score: 18.6/30 sociology going into my 2nd year of a PhD in the USA Do people know about the likelihood of getting an award off the waitlist? Does this even happen? I can't think of many reasons why anyone would turn down an award, so how does it happen that more become available? Also - what is the lowest successful score in sociology (or whatever that committee is) so far? thx. congrats to everyone on your hard work! remember that these things don't define us as people!

received a letter in Winnipeg today (Feb 28), my program is a PhD in Sociology at the CUNY Graduate Center (currently enrolled), I didn't get a score out of 30, but I was notified that my application has been forwarded to the national competition. :) good luck everyone!
-
nice work raccoonface! what part of the country do you live in? when am I gonna get my letter all the way out here in the west, I wonder? Blurry: after the Group A/B decision the next set of decisions aren't mailed out til late April ... so, the waiting game continues
-
yes - I meant the February A-list/B-list thing for people who have applied directly to sshrc
-
You will hear in February whether you are on the A list or the B list. So, regardless of your status, you will hear from SSHRC in February.
