Lanie Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 I'm not at Trent. But yeah our graduate scholarship office emailed everyone and updated our student centre accounts. So here's hoping yours do the same shortly. I was not awarded a SSHRC but I did get a SSHRC Vanier. So I'm good but always reminded that this is sort of like throwing darts.

Anthrogal Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 My university just e-mailed our results. CGS-D for 3 years. I am still in shock. Feel a little like I might be sick ;). I was waitlisted last year and was hopeful, but not really. OMG is this really happening? Time for my happy dance and I hope the rest of you waiting hear your news very, very soon! lackingpatience and OatsandBeans 2
DealBreakerC Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 That's awesome! Congratulations. Maybe I will know before my trip after all...
biggoalies Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 (edited) Congrats to you both (Anthrogal, and Lanie for Vanier), so exciting! But ahhh, SSHRC speaks of fairness in the process... Why can't all universities proceed the same way? Edited April 22, 2016 by biggoalies

I am at Western. I am not sure why all universities don't do this. Maybe larger universities with more awards take longer to process everything? I hope many more of you hear good news later today and next week! mojoliveshere 1

OatsandBeans Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 A HUGE Congrats @Anthrogal and @Lanie! What a great way to go into the weekend. It is surreal to think that the long wait is (almost) over. I am still waiting over here in Western Canada.

gleefullygloomy Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 Just got a response back from my university (was super quick!) - was awarded SSHRC Doctoral Fellowship. To all those waiting, an email might help alleviate the stress! OatsandBeans 1
poliscilady Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 Hi all - I've been lurking on this thread for a solid two weeks now. Once I saw a few people had results I just could not wait anymore - so I emailed my graduate chair about 20 minutes ago and already got a reply! Successful application! CGS-D for three years! I am literally dumbfounded. I didn't even get forwarded by my uni last year!! Long story short - be a pest and send an email! gleefullygloomy and OatsandBeans 2

lackingpatience Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 Woah, when it rains it pours! Congrats all! Shouts out the other direct applicants who can't e-mail the dgs and will have to wait out the weekend... stay strong!

biggoalies Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 Woaw, emails before snail mail, maybe SSHRC could learn from this! No hope for York, I'm afraid. Congrats everyone!

DealBreakerC Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 (edited) Response from the grad awards office: " We just got the results today. We'll be notifying departments in the next few days here. Shouldn't be too much longer! " UGH!!!!!!! Edited April 22, 2016 by DealBreakerC
Losingmymind46 Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 I emailed the external awards officer at my university (McGill) and got the following reply: "Good morning, We will be notifying successful candidates in the coming days. SSHRC will send, or has sent, result letters to all candidates." Not very helpful at all...
solala Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 (edited) Hi everyone! Just popping back into the forum this year. Thanks to everyone for the heads up that the awards managers get the results early. Congrats to Anthrogal and others on the success! I emailed my awards advisor today, and she told me that I got the fellowship!!! I am more than thrilled! Last year I didn't even make the waitlist and I was completely devastated (and I can't even bring myself to confess the super low score that I received). Honestly my application was almost the same this year, so I just wanted to let everyone know in advance that if you don't get an award, then you should keep trying. A lot can change from year to year, and sometimes small details can make a huge difference. (I apologize in advance that I'm not going to disclose the university where I'm attending, but it doesn't hurt to ask your awards manager, whatever school you are at). Best of luck to everyone who is still waiting! Edited April 22, 2016 by solala OatsandBeans 1
