I'm at Univ. of Winnipeg. I had emailed my grad studies office, and it doesn't appear like they are in a rush to get back to me with any information. Still nothing in the mailbox. I would expect something around Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Awards Officer at UManitoba did respond, they said to wait for the letter. So the wait continues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New York direct applicant here! Got my letter yesterday, which is rather shocking how quickly it arrived (US and all). Waitlisted. The letter was dated April 26.

YuzuCat Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 I just received an email from my university at 12:18, notifying me that I've received a doctoral SSHRC. Didn't make it to nationals last year, with 1 first author pub and 3 international presentations as an MA student. I had a very similar project proposal this time around, but two pubs, 5 presentations, and a few more research awards. Hang in there, everyone! Best of luck to those still waiting or are planning on reapplying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellowsweatygorilla Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 While I heard back from York yesterday, I was too paranoid to accept the result until I received the letter. The letter came to North York today! I have been awarded a Bombardier CGS! Score was 14.7 in the social work committee. I have 2 journal articles, 1 book chapter, and 4 conference presentations. This whole thing is a crapshoot, and I suggest that folks not give up. This is my third time applying (direct entry + year 1). Last year I received a score of 12.6 with 2 journal articles, 2 conference presentations. The year before a 9.6 with 1 journal article and 1 conference presentation.

SocsciorDie Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 The Grad Office at The University of Winnipeg just notified me that my application was successful, but didn't specify between the Bombardier Scholarship or Doctoral Fellowship. I am still finishing my Master's and will be starting my PhD at Waterloo in the fall. Is anyone familiar with the steps that need to be taken in order to have the award paid through a different university than the one that I applied through?

I've been killing my refresh button since 11am but I never received an email from SFU be it DGS, or grad awards, and my supervisor hasn't heard either. This is so bizarre! Maybe they only did successful applicants today and are doing the rest later? I'm currently in 2nd year PhD here at SFU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they're waiting to see how many waitlisted folks are bumped up from Vanier. My incoming supervisor didn't know, and our grad secretary said that they weren't going to release any results. Might be good to visit DGS in person tomorrow - maybe they'll be more forthcoming with your application that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did email grad awards on Friday, but there's been no response. It honestly sounds like a huge mess, all these people saying different things. I appreciate your advice, my campus isn't the Burnaby campus but perhaps a phone call would suffice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend who won it last year said that she knew a week before her lab partner, even though they both had won. They were both emailed at separate times. The other girl had to wait a full week for her physical letter, and an extra 2 days before she received an email! That's brutal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know what the waitlist is like and how common it is to receive the award off of the waitlist? Hoping to know so I can either maintain my hopes or prepare for disappointment. thanks HI JimBob1--I was waitlisted the last 2 years, but nothing transpired of it. In fact, I was told by my Programs Officer that it's not impossible for none of the waitlisted applicants to receive an award. Apologies for all of the negatives in that last sentence: in other words, sometimes no on on the waitlist gets an award...even IF people turn down their scholarship -- it's as if the funds get sucked back into the SSHRC vortex.

lithicboi Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Received the Bombardier CGS SSHRC, notified directly by the department of graduate studies before receiving my mailed letter in downtown Montreal. No publications, 6 conference presentations, 1 conference session, received SSHRC CGS-M in M.A. CrazyPugLady 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
