Adelaide9216 Posted September 25, 2018 Author Posted September 25, 2018 I wonder when the criteria and deadlines will be announced

I wonder how dramatically it will change. Perhaps they might change who is eligible so much that they focus on applicants a different stage of their PhD? I'm totally projecting my fears onto the process though... Adelaide9216 1

Adelaide9216 Posted December 3, 2018 Author Posted December 3, 2018 It seems like you need to be already accepted into the program in order to apply. My deadline for application is on January 15...

My deadline for application is on January 15... I still can't see any information about how it works this year? Last year it was the universities that forwarded candidates for consideration; it wasn't possible to apply directly to the Trudeau Foundation.
Adelaide9216 Posted December 3, 2018 Author Posted December 3, 2018 If you click on the portal, there's a link for doctoral candidates that you can click on and the criteria are there. I don't now what's the process at my current university and prospective university, they haven't received their guidelines yet. high_hopes 1
high_hopes Posted December 3, 2018 Posted December 3, 2018 I wonder if the amount and duration of the award and the number of awards they will give out will stay the same. I am not sure, but I don't think that 3rd year PhD students were eligible last year, but it looks like they are eligible now.

Adelaide9216 Posted December 3, 2018 Author Posted December 3, 2018 I feel like I have good chances for Vanier, but feel insecure about Trudeau.
high_hopes Posted December 3, 2018 Posted December 3, 2018 (edited) The information is now on the website. It also looks like they are making a greater effort to promote bilingualism and to have selected scholars organize conferences. There also appears to be more flexibility in who your references are than last year. Good luck to everyone who is applying! Edit: It also looks like the universities are much more restricted in the number of applications they can forward--it is only 4 for Canadian universities and 3 for international universities. If I remember correctly, last year Canadian universities could forward eight applications. Edited December 3, 2018 by high_hopes
Adelaide9216 Posted December 3, 2018 Author Posted December 3, 2018 Yes, but they have increased the number of scholarships offered. (20 instead of 15). I feel anxious because universities have to submit their candidates by February 22nd. and my deadline for phd admission is January 15. So I don't know when between January 16 and February 21st I will receive an admission decision because you need to be admitted in order to apply to Trudeau.
high_hopes Posted December 3, 2018 Posted December 3, 2018 You can always apply the following year as well! And if you get it later then the funding will last longer through the program and not overlap as much with the SSHRC or Vanier. I would love to get the Trudeau this year because it would mean I could have an additional year of funding for my degree. Adelaide9216 1
Adelaide9216 Posted December 21, 2018 Author Posted December 21, 2018 Good luck on those applying this year! I'm really looking forward to hearing how the process has been for you.
Adelaide9216 Posted December 25, 2018 Author Posted December 25, 2018 any tips on how to make my app stronger next year?
Adelaide9216 Posted January 1, 2019 Author Posted January 1, 2019 My uni sents out Trudeau apps on Jan 25. I hope to get an admission offer before that, who knows. If not, I'll just apply next year.
Adelaide9216 Posted January 8, 2019 Author Posted January 8, 2019 My prospective uni has an internal deadline at the end of January. I can't apply right now because I don't have an admission offer in my hands right now. But I am ready to apply. It sucks but worst case, I try next year. I emailed my phd thesis advisor to know if he knows when admission decisions will be given.
Adelaide9216 Posted January 10, 2019 Author Posted January 10, 2019 My future thesis supervisor told me that I should have an offer of admission before the deadline to apply for Trudeau. Yay!
Adelaide9216 Posted January 13, 2019 Author Posted January 13, 2019 Hello, are scientific publications crucial to win this award?

I don't think so: I think the emphasis is more on community-based leadership when looking at the profiles of previous winners and also what they emphasize in how they assess applications.

I am only missing one LOR to my application. I don't believe I'll get the award but it's still worth trying, who knows.
