soupdujour Posted April 30, 2018 Posted April 30, 2018 In case anyone is in the UK, I called my faculty's GSO (Oxford) and they hadn't received any news from SSHRC, so it looks like direct applicants have to wait to hear via snail mail.

fmlfmlfml Posted April 30, 2018 Posted April 30, 2018 (edited) Hey all - my partner just called me to let me know that my letter arrived in the mail today (I'm at the University of Ottawa, living in Ottawa, which is likely why it came so fast). I got the two-year, 20k/year doctoral fellowship with a score of 15/20. (!!!) For anyone who's interested, this is my third time applying for a SSHRC (rejected for Masters, waitlisted for Doctoral last year). The essay portion of my application remained almost exactly the same between last year and this year, but I received OGS last year & I had quite a few more first author and co-author publications and presentations this year. Good luck, everyone! Edited April 30, 2018 by fmlfmlfml dmk, BibliophileSW, NotForsaken and 2 others 5
dmk Posted April 30, 2018 Posted April 30, 2018 Holy crap, just found out from my awards office (at UW) that I'm being awarded a SSHRC doctoral fellowship - in complete disbelief considering last year I received an incredibly low score of 9.2/20. TBay, Kraven and fmlfmlfml 1 2

red_fife Posted April 30, 2018 Posted April 30, 2018 Just got the results in the mail this morning (Montreal) and got funding for my fifth year. Just wanted to let everyone who didn't get it to know that even if you didn't get it this year (or the year before, or the year before that...etc.) that you shouldn't give up hope! dmk, BibliophileSW, fmlfmlfml and 1 other 2 2
Plunk Posted April 30, 2018 Posted April 30, 2018 My friend got his letter in the mail today too (in Montreal). fmlfmlfml 1
BibliophileSW Posted April 30, 2018 Posted April 30, 2018 1 hour ago, fabula said: 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. Thank you very much for this - just sent them an email in inquire (queue is currently 4 days). fabula 1
dalgrad9 Posted April 30, 2018 Posted April 30, 2018 Emailed the graduate scholarship liaison officer at Dalhousie and found out that I won a 36 month SSHRC doctoral scholarship for 20 000/year. I was debating waiting until my letter arrived but the waves of anxiety were making it impossible to get anything done (and I have lots to get done this week). If you combine attempts at the masters and doctoral SSHRCs, this was my fourth attempt. Last year I didn't even make it to the national competition. Honestly, the most exciting thing about winning it this year is not having to go through another round of applications next year. Best of luck to everyone! BibliophileSW, CrazyPugLady and dmk 3

FacelessMage Posted April 30, 2018 Posted April 30, 2018 I heard from my awards office, and was told that I was rejected. I'm pretty disappointed, since I had double the amount of publications this time around than when I won the the doctoral CGS two years ago. Guess it's on to my fifth application attempt next year...
Stipo Posted April 30, 2018 Posted April 30, 2018 (edited) Hi all, Have been lurking for a while with a colleague. We are two candidates in Ottawa who have NOT received any letters today or any emails. A third peer in Ottawa has received letter today. Does anyone else in Ottawa have any idea why the lack of mail? Appreciate any insights as the anticipation is eating me alive. Hard to focus when others receive letters and my own inbox is empty. Cheers! Edited April 30, 2018 by Stipo

Last year, I didn't receive a letter until a week after they were allegedly sent out; this year I received it today.
Plunk Posted April 30, 2018 Posted April 30, 2018 Just found out I got the Joseph-Armand Bombardier award! First time applying (but already 2 years into a doctoral program - so was my one and only chance to get it). dmk and Kraven 2

Not sure how the postal system works, but Hintonburg area got letter today and I am still waiting in Little Italy. Strange stuff! hah
TBay Posted April 30, 2018 Posted April 30, 2018 No mail in Toronto and Ryerson does not seem to be releasing information. No response to email.
YuzuCat Posted April 30, 2018 Posted April 30, 2018 Just contacted SFU's grad office. They're not releasing any info until either later this week or early next week.
