FacelessMage Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 7 hours ago, UnlikelyGrad4 said: Hi all, again - This is somewhat related to scholarships: Does anyone know if you can leverage your doctoral awards to gain acceptance into a phd program you haven't applied for? Or is it generally the practice that once applications are closed, they're closed. Thanks in advance! I tried to use both the Masters and doctoral SSHRC awards I won into acceptances. It worked for the Masters program, but didn't work a few years later with the doctoral award. It really depends on the program.

BibliophileSW Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Is anyone expecting to get their letters today in the post? Or is Tuesday more realistic? (Toronto) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be comforted by the knowledge that at least you're not a direct applicant in the US who a) cannot be put out of her misery by a scholarships office with advance notice, AND b) has to wait extra long for international mail to arrive. *Sob!* Hey, me too!! At least we have Saturday post? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Toronto) I think Thursday or Friday would be more realistic. I was creeping on last year's SSHRC thread and it seemed like Toronto got their letters last (weirdly enough).

msfinley Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 York U is emailing students results. I got the Joseph-Bombardier but I’ve already declined it because I received Vanier, so good luck to those of you on the waitlist!

geekrock Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 If you're at Dalhousie you might email FGS Scholarships Liaison Officer Email Account for your results. I emailed this morning and was promptly notified that I was awarded the Joseph-Armand Bombardier CGS Doctoral Scholarship. I'm super pumped! Congrats to all who were successful. Also, to those who weren't - I struck out on every app for last year's funding season. I beefed up my pubs (1 first author, 2 coauthor) and conferences (pres and posters) and was successful in all of my apps thus far. Best of luck to everyone!

BibliophileSW Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I just heard back from the awards office that I was wait listed for SSHRC. Incredibly disappointed today ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psychlone Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Hi all, longtime lurker of this thread. Thought I’d provide an update. I received two emails from York University this morning (one from FGS one from the financial officer) informing me I had been successful in receiving a SSHRC doctoral award. I haven’t received anything in the mail yet. Take that for what it’s worth! Good luck to everyone. I was unsuccessful last year (sent to the national competition) so I know this is a gruelling and sometimes devastating process. All best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm seeing from previous posters that it's very unlikely to get off waitlist, as people have been waitlisted several years in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fabula Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 For those on the waitlist, I believe you can email SSHRC directly to ask for your position in line. (At least that's what some in last year's forum did.) I'd assume you'd use fellowships@sshrc-crsh.gc.ca. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Rene Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Just heard from York FGS research office via email. Successful, Bombardier award (35k for 3 years). Happy, but what a discouraging and soul-destroying wait that was! Now have to figure out how to do all the filling, signing, scanning, and emailing of forms while 5000km from my mailbox, printer, and scanner.
