Out of curiosity, does FRQSC allow you to combine funding with SSHRC, or do you have to choose between the two?

[TR765]

To my knowledge, you can't fully combine both, but it is possible to partially combine them depending on the circumstances. For example, if you got the 20 000$ SSHRC fellowship AND the FRQSC (which is 21 000$), FRQSC would top off the other one. At the MA level, you can accept both and the FRQSC will fund your second year since it's a 2-year scholarship. However, it wouldn't work for the CGS-D (even if the FRQSC is longer) since the total SSHRC amount is higher than the FRQSC one.

I just got my email!

Unfortunately, my application scored much worse than last year and I did not get an award.

Crossing my fingers for all of you!

I received my results about 30 mins ago. It was my first year applying, and I was recommended but not funded (so close). 

Here's the info from my results:

 

Committee 1A 

Total Score: 9.84 / 12

Rank: 55 / 107

 

Applications: 107

Fellowships Offered: 52 (48.6%)

Fellowships Not Offered: 55 (51.4%)

Score of last funded application: 9.87

 

Good luck to everyone else!

No email yet - and nothing in my last year's link either.  Happy to know emails are going out so that I can be put out of my misery!

I managed to stay pretty calm until people started receiving emails - Now I'm refreshing my email, twitter, and this forum every few minutes 🥲

No email here yet, but a friend received theirs and it was successful!

This is a disaster it's 3am where I am 😅 To sleep or not to sleep, that is the question

I don't think I'd be able to. Glad it's only 7:45 pm here. I haven't heard anything yet. 

Sorry to those who didn't receive one. 😞

Fingers crossed for you enough others don't take it, so you get an award.

[criticalthinker]

I still haven't received anything yet. This is my first time applying! Do they send you the link and everything else you need to log in and see the results?

No kidding. I'm kind of dreading the results but need to know eventually I guess. You did amazing which likely isn't much consolation but seeing the scores shows you that you did well at least.

Thank you!! I'm hoping for this too 😅

Just got mine! Feeling relieved. Not lurking here anymore. Sleeping tight tonight - good luck everyone!

Thanks so much for everyone generously sharing their scores. So sorry to those who have not received ☹️ I am finding that people are being awarded with much lower scores than when I applied (and did not receive) in 2021 (I got a 15/20 and did not receive for my group). I had one friend hear back from CIHR at 11am and not be awarded, then another at 4pm was awarded.. guessing CIHR hears first, then NSERC, then SSHRC.

One question - does anyone know what determines SSHRC CGS-D (35k) versus SSHRC Doctoral Fellowship (20K)? Is it simply that the highest ranked scorers get upgraded to the the CGS-D at time of application? Or is it something else? I had a small panic when a friend pointed out that I had seemingly only appeared to have applied for the fellowship and not CGS-D so have spent six months worried about this 😅...

Probably different committees and criteria from year to year (I notice the areas of focus change). As for CGS-D vs SSHRC Doctoral, our applications are submitted to both, but I know that you can't hold CGS-D at an institution outside of Canada. Someone I know was awarded the CGS-D tonight, but isn't at Canadian institution, so I'm guessing it'll be converted to a SSHRC Doctoral.

Could someone say a little bit more about the CGS-D/SSHRC Doctoral difference? I'm at an American institution, but I was just awarded a CGS-D and I'm having a bit of a panic wondering if I accidentally applied to the wrong thing or something. What's going on?

You didn't apply to the wrong one lol. I think they'll just convert it. You might have to email them.

Are there still others out there who haven't received their results yet? Do all results get released simultaneously or is it by committee? 

[j0k3r]

Nothing for me yet. The people I know who have received results seem to be mostly in the humanities.

Thanks! Hopefully this means the rest of us will be getting our results by Friday evening!
