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.

Did the email come from SSHRC or your institution? I haven't received an email yet!

Was it someone on this thread who called? I haven't had any luck calling because we can only reach the IT help desk!

Nope! I'm in a discord group with other psychology students across Canada and it was posted there :)

As brutal as this update is, thanks for sharing! 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.

I had this fear as well... at this point, tomorrow may actually be the best case scenario 🙃

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.

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? 

I believe all scholarships (Vanier, etc.) will be merged into one- at 40K a year.

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?

Also, you are correct they will be merged: https://budget.canada.ca/2024/report-rapport/chap4-en.html# (Figure 4.2). They also mention: "To make it easier for students and fellows to access support, the enhanced suite of scholarships and fellowship programs will be streamlined into one talent program."

But here it just says the "New Talent Program Annual Award", not mentioning if it will apply to existing awards
