yellowtulip Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 From what I understand, unlike previous years, NSERC was only able to notify X numbers of students, regardless of whether or not they accepted (i.e. they weren't able to over-award). It just so happens that last year was also the first Banting competition, and since this competition was a separate application than the NSERC PDFs, presumably many Banting winners also won a PDF (which of course they couldn't accept both, so this presumably left many un-awarded PDFs). I wonder if this is what might have led last year's numbers to be so low. Maybe I'm totally wrong on this front, and there was coordination between the Banting & PDF awarding process, in which case, well, shucks... the numbers look low! Hopefully it isn't as low this year!! My fingers are crossed Lucky Ottawa folk? I say lucky Canadians! I'm out of country doing my PDF, so suspect I won't get a letter for quite some time! Hmm... I wish it was electronic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boourns Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Good luck to everyone. Quite frankly, I feel so jaded about grad school, I don't even know if it matters whether I win or not in my third attempt at NSERC, this time PGS-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winter2012 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Still waiting for NSERC PDF outcome. We have come so far and I know that it is just a matter of another 7 to 10 days, but still I keep on coming here to see if any one has posted a new news. Lets hope for the best.

UBC2012 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 (edited) Read these two pages, they give you very interesting information. Also read through the tables that have been cited in these links which can be found in NSERC website. Also read the comments posted by the NSERC representative. http://nghoussoub.co...fs-dont-add-up/ http://nghoussoub.co...lateral-damage/ Edited March 13, 2012 by UBC2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stud007 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 So does any one have an idea about the proposed number of CGS-PGS awards this year since the EAP plan has come to an end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You Might find some information here: http://www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca/NSERC-CRSNG/FactsFigures-TableauxDetailles_eng.asp if we do not happen to have a budget cut, this year's numbers for Masters and PhD scholarships should be the same. For PDF, I am guessing we should have a higher number of awards compared to last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marmoor Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Well these are reports from last year budget, dont think it gives much info regarding this year. I wish they would just post names on their websites and get this over with!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the results will start trickling down the week after next. As a 2009 NSERC CGS M applicant who was awarded in 2010, I am feeling a little pessimistic that I will be successful again - likley I was one of the 400 'extra' CGS M recipients!

CoadyCameron Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Will they send emails? Good luck to everyone!! On the NSERC website it says that they will not distribute results by phone or email.

Clarrien Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 On the NSERC website it says that they will not distribute results by phone or email. Contact will only be made through the mail. True, however, your school should be informed directly by NSERC. In 2009 everyone at my school that was sucessful got an email from Grad Studies saying they had been sucessful, and then got the letter in the mail a few to several days later.

Yes, the same goes for our university. Graduate studies knew which applicants were successful several days before anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patate_tomate_jardin Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Does anyone know since when this program is at 40K/year? With reference if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marmoor Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I thought it was always 40K, I just remember it was not taxable a few years ago but now it is (I mean PDF ofcourse) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
