@SupportOurSci Rookie/Naive question: for those students who just won an NSERC scholarship this semester for the coming September school year, will this come into effect or is this only for the next competition cycle and beyond?
@SupportOurSci Will the government give the additional fellowships right away, or the increase will apply to next year’s competition?
@SupportOurSci Will this retroactively include people who already hold tri-council awards?
@SupportOurSci Well done getting the word out, 338 letters and follow-up explaining need well done.
