Has anyone ever heard of someone declining a Category B award ($20,000 x 4 years) in the their first year in the hopes of winning a CGS the next application season? I was lucky enough to win a Category B award and will be entering my PhD this Fall. However, due to the nature of my school's funding packages, I basically won't get any more money than the normal guaranteed funding package (because if you win a major scholarship, you have to pay tuition whereas if you don't win, the school pays for you). I'm just wondering whether it would be completely crazy to decline and try again for a CGS?? Thoughts anyone?? THx!!

I wonder if the departments know the results.....now I keep checking my e-mail for something from my school. Ahhhh. Need a drink!!

Last year, SSHRC announced that they had mailed their letters via their Twitter feed: https://twitter.com/#!/SSHRC_CRSH You know - because we all need something else to check every 5 minutes.... Good luck everyone!!!

OGS won't be out until mid-May said an e-mail I just received - hopefully SSHRC is faster . Although my supervisor told me he received a notice about a delay in SSHRC - but he wasn't sure if it meant a delay for faculty awards or student awards. If only they could be prompt like NSERC. Haha. Good luck everyone!
