Firled

I am a Canadian student pursuing a doctoral program in the U.S. It has been frustrating since I am ineligible for most of the fellowships I come across. You are required to be at least a U.S. permanent resident (green card holder). Are there any sources for international fellowships?

Does anyone know what your chances are of winning a SSHRC doctoral fellowship if you apply from outside Canada? I have an MA from Canada and am currently attending a U.S. institution for my Ph.D.. I called the program folks at SSHRC and they said that I was eligible. I received a rejection letter saying that I did not make one of the 255 finalists. Has anyone hear of someone receiving a SSHRC to study in the U.S.?
