SSHRC CGS-D & Doctoral Fellowships 2024-2025

That's weird that people didn't receive the email. I did not contact SSHRC directly at all. The email is an official one from "Z-Fellowships'.

Maybe they are also sending that alphabetically 🤣

[phdpanicking]

Okay thanks! Maybe this means bad news then. Maybe they will only email the people who got accepted first. Idk I'm just panicking...

I'm sorry but this is just... so silly 😂 Can they not do the required work on the portal so half of applicants don't have to wait an extra day based on their names? 

Literally, I feel discriminated against 🫠 so frustrating! After all this waiting just to be told "sorry, we're going to be late because you happen to come too far back in the alphabet and we can't be arsed to fix our systems". Jeez.

I wonder if they only sent that email to the second-half people. I am also in the first half and haven't received an email yet. 

[phdpanicking]

What should we do if we haven't received the email yet? Has anyone encountered this in previous years?

Is it possible they're sending out the email invites by committee? Has anyone in committees 4 or 5 received the email?

[boopbeep]

Just received the email (I’m in latter half of alphabet) 

“The SSHRC Doctoral programs results for Competition Year 2024 will soon be made available. The results will be shared with applicants through the Extranet on April 30th and May 1st. Results are being released alphabetically by surname over two days (A-K on April 30th and L-Z on May 1st) to avoid technical issues.”

I truly hope so and that nothing goes wrong like last year. We all just need this to be over.

I'm B and got the email 15 minutes ago - but about 15mins after the original post about the email... (committee 3)

[prettyhuge]

Also in latter half of alphabet, committee 5. Just received that same email from Z-Fellowships 10 minutes ago.

I'm S and committee 1 - it's probably just how quickly their servers are churning out emails, I wouldn't worry about it too much! It may also be folks that have reached out recently, I asked for an update a couple weeks ago. But either way this didn't include extranet log in info.

[somewoesinthishouse]

Just received the email from Z-Fellowships. I'm M and committee 5. I know a lot of us are pretty anxious about this but we'll make it through it one way or another.

I am in the first half, F, and I got it.. Committee 2

[phdpanicking]

So they are sending out the emails in batches too???????? SSHRC, you have aged me at least 15 years. 

Still nothing on my end.

[cantsshrcit]

fucking sick of this wait... 

but in solidarity  I just made this account to report that my last name starts with K and I just received the "we will be releasing results" email 5 minutes ago. Copying text below:
"

Hello, 

The SSHRC Doctoral programs results for Competition Year 2024 will soon be made available. The results will be shared with applicants through the Extranet on April 30th and May 1st. Results are being released alphabetically by surname over two days (A-K on April 30th and L-Z on May 1st) to avoid technical issues.

The three federal granting agencies (CIHR, NSERC, SSHRC) welcome the new investments in Canada's research ecosystem, including the increase of the annual value of master's and doctoral student scholarships, and postdoctoral fellowships. As is the usual process following a Federal Budget announcement, we are awaiting further direction from the government concerning the announced scholarship and fellowship increases.  

We will share more information with awardees and institutions once it becomes available. 

We thank you for your patience.

Don’t worry, I haven’t either. Solidarity in waiting!

Guys the beavers running the treadmills that power SSHRC's email server need break time too.

Just got mine, for 'I' and in Committee 2.

They are mostly certainly NOT welcome for my patience.

 

PS I did just get the email. I think I’m committee 2 or 3? Second half of the alphabet.

I just got the email about results being released in batches! So it seems we can all expect it. 

[phdpanicking]

Anyone still waiting? Still haven't got it. This is torture.

[Rowster08]

I'm last name K, and haven't received the email yet. Committee 5 as well. Is anyone else not seeing their application in the SSHRC portal still? Mine still says "Nothing to display."

[Hopeful_2024]

I just got an email like 30 seconds ago, lol. I'm in the first half of the alphabet and committee 4!
