Thanks for the advice wrenochka and spinrah, and I'll definitely be pushing for that when I call them tomorrow. The moment was quite fleeting when I imagined myself so credentialed and so rich that I could logically decline SSHRC.

No worries. It'd be great if SSHRC released the results electronically so that the length and level of one's anxiety didn't depend on where they were located. Hope the waiting game ends for everyone sooner rather than later!

Why did you decline and did you ever get advice that declining it would negatively affect your chances the second time around? I'll be calling my prospective department tomorrow to ask these questions and, if anyone is interested, I'll post the answers I get. My concern is that Master's programs are only funded by most departments (and mine) for the first year, and if a student accepts an external award of +15k, their funding package would be significantly reduced. So... I'm curious whether I'm better off declining it this year and re-applying for it next year OR accepting it and banking on getting OGS next year. I went to York U actually. It's a pain to calculate, to explain, and to accept the near-impossibility of getting a 4.0 GPA.

Master's SSHRC 2012

I did read that the duration was one year, and that to be eligible, you can't have held another SSHRC at the master's level. Just asking because of something I heard/perhaps misunderstood. Thanks for your patience, spinrah.

Did anyone get a SSHRC for two years? I got a one-year SSHRC, but am going into a two-year program. I was under the impression that the Master's SSHRC would fund you for the duration of your program?
