Final Friday in April, just like last year. Anyone else away from home for an extended period? I won't see my mailbox again until mid-August, likely have to write to my FGS research office to voluntarily seek out my rejection, lol.

 I hope they put these past 4 months to good use!!

Good luck everyone!

That says 2017.  I don't see the twitter yet saying they have mailed.  But maybe there won't be one?

From your university? I haven't received any notice!

Coincidence? I received an email TODAY from Vanier asking me to email SSHRC to tell them I am rejecting a Doctoral Scholarship?!

Well, hopefully they've got their facts straight!  time will tell I guess.

Hi everyone, so I won a Vanier scholarship and yesterday they emailed me requesting that I contact SSHRC and confirm that I’m declining a SSHRC scholarship. This morning I got an email from SSHRC saying that even though I declined I’ll be getting the results in the mail as they were mailed out April 27th. I hope this helps resolve some confusion.

Since the letters are out, should we take this to mean that our uni's already know?

Possibly? Probably. I'm too afraid to email my awards officer to find out.

Yeah I know what you mean. Anyone brave enough to contact an awards officer?

You can ask your Graduate Coordinator to do it on your programs/departments behalf? I emailed mine today, and she responded that she normally hears from students before anyone else, but I really don't think this is consistent (from what I've seen in the past). 

[JimBob1]

Hmm. In that case, I would be tempted to just contact the Federal Awards Officer directly, and maybe get a reply?

 

[high_hopes]

Also.... if SSHRC can use twitter why can't they just use some online portal to release the results or email them to us?

exciting! good luck everyone!

A friend of mine told me he heard back after contacting the federal awards officer at their university! It seems this is an option, but I just don't have the nerve.

They 100% know, I just don't think they could tell you until the letters were officially in the mail. So ask them! 

[RainDays]

I just emailed our school's scholarships officer, so I'll let you folks know as soon as she emails me back ! 

[JimBob1]

I just sent an email too. It can't hurt any more than opening the letter!
