NSERC PGS/CGS - D Waitlist?

[liammo29]

I was fortunate enough to get a CGS-M last year, but this year I had no luck on my PhD application. However, my letter didn't say anything about a waitlist? Is there a waitlist and, if so, are you told you are on it. The letter just said it regretted to inform me that I had not been selected. I was applying in the last year of my masters so I know it was a bit of a long shot.

It would have said that you're on a list of alternates, unfortunately.

No worries, I've seen this for CGS-M, but can't find anything about wait lists for PGS-D, do you know of anyone who has been put on a list for it?

Can anyone else confirm this?

Yeah the letter reads that I am on an alternate short-list and they will inform me should additional funds become available.

Same here, But has anyone heard from NSERC regarding the short-lists?
