FutureAssyriologist Posted April 26 Posted April 26 29 minutes ago, LeahH said: Who knows, but here's hoping! I mean, given that there are still two working days in April next week, if the increase in the number of awards somehow applied to this cycle causing a last-minute scramble to re-visit results, and that people didn't hear until well enough into May two years ago.... We might all have to do our best to forget about it over the weekend. The thing is though, don’t they have rankings / scores for everyone? So it would have been just a matter of moving the cut off point.. ugh

chicha3maddy Posted April 26 Posted April 26 I tried to post an email update I received but it got held back by moderation. Sorry if it ends up double posting! It's not the update we were hoping for. :// They said "The results of the doctoral awards competition will be sent electronically via the SSHRC extranet next week." So we should all try to turn off our brains this weekend. We're not getting anything till Monday at the earliest. FutureAssyriologist, impatientlylurking, boopbeep and 3 others 3 3

chicha3maddy Posted April 26 Posted April 26 It came directly from SSHRC. It wasn't automated, I had emailed them directly to ask about the timeline. So I wouldn't expect an email from them today. LeahH 1

I had a feeling when the response to Chicha3Maddy's email was just "next week" instead of "by the 30th" or "early next week" that sshrc was behind.

ladyphd Posted April 29 Posted April 29 This is getting ridiculous. Just press send and send us our results already, end our misery! 🥲 (this is me trying to manifest results today) SEDieter, impatientlylurking and Val00198 3
chicha3maddy Posted April 29 Posted April 29 I remember last year the goalpost just kept moving... They would give us a date and then that date would pass. I wish we were seeing more understanding of how vulnerable a position we're in as students waiting this out. 20k a year (never mind the new 40k!!) can make an immediate, tangible difference in our financial wellbeing. Feeling a lot of anxiety and pressure around these results makes sense, and I think clear communication and transparency around timeline is a fair ask. But it really feels that the urgency... is not matched on their end. SEDieter, impatientlylurking, Shannon1111 and 6 others 9
tajfel1979 Posted April 29 Posted April 29 With the increase in budget, does anyone know what will happen to Canada Graduate Scholarship- Doctoral (3-years valued at $35k a year)? Will that be discontinued or have an increase?

Do we know if it's all scholarships (existing and awarded in the future) will benefit from the 40K? As in, if we get awarded the $20K/year this week, will this turn into $40K/year once the budget is approved. Or is it only for awards after budget approval?
