I did a little more digging and it seems like SSHRC will be going through our applications very carefully to determine whether our proposals are appropriate on a case-by-case basis. My understanding is that they won't outright eliminate us because of our clinical affiliation, but will go through our applications more stringently because of it. So, there's still a chance for us if we were careful enough in our Program of Study... fingers crossed

Hi everyone, I have a very interesting dilemma! I am a Clinical Psychology graduate student. I applied for the SSHRC CGS Master's Scholarship and was forwarded to the national competition in February. I've been checking the mail like a maniac for the last two weeks, and still nothing (even though ALL of the other applicants from my school have received their letters). I decided to email SSHRC and see what was going on... this is the email that I got back: Thank you for your email. There were problems that were identified in certain applications that did not meet the terms with our eligibility criteria. We are currently finalizing the verification of the applications and will be able to share your results with you within the next two weeks. I was very confused about this, as I cannot imagine what would need to be verified in my application. I took the email to the head of my department and he expressed the following concern: A few years ago SSHRC decided to NOT award scholarships to students in clinical programs, even if their research proposal was not clinically based - there was a huge uproar about this and the decision was later revoked. The concern is that it has been reinstated for this year. What I am wondering is, are there any other students out there who are still waiting for their letters AND are/will be enrolled in a CLINICAL graduate program?
