Awards Policy
In recent years Carleton graduate students have won a large number of external
scholarships such as SSHRC fellowships, NSERC scholarships, and Ontario Graduate
Scholarships. In addition, the University itself provides generous support,
and the majority of graduate students receive funds from this source.
Students who hold such awards must pay regular tuition fees unless otherwise
stated.
Full-time graduate students at Carleton University are expected to comply
with the following procedure. Any full-time graduate student who accepts an
award that is not directly administered by Carleton University must immediately
inform his/her departmental chair and the Dean of the Faculty of Graduate Studies
and Research in writing. This requirement applies to any awards or assistance
offered by any agency or institution.
Application Deadlines
March 1 is the last date for receipt of completed applications for admission
(including transcripts, letters of reference, etc.) from candidates who wish
to be considered for the initial award, announced April 1, of financial assistance
administered by Carleton University. However, some departments have earlier
application deadlines and students are strongly advised to check with the individual
department concerned.
Candidates whose applications are received after the March 1 deadline may
be eligible for the award of a scholarship and assistantship by reversion.
Method of Payment
All awards administered by Carleton University will be paid on a monthly basis,
with the first installment on September 30.
Students are urged to note the above payment dates and be prepared to
be financially self-sufficient during the month of September.
Other Awards
A number of national and provincial organizations award fellowships and scholarships
which are tenable at Carleton University (for example, SSHRC, OGS, NSERC, etc.).
Some application procedures and regulations concerning fellowships awarded by
agencies other than Carleton University are given in the description of each
of these awards.
In addition, a large number of foundations, companies, fraternal organizations,
and other agencies offer fellowships and scholarships. Information on these
funding opportunities, agency deadlines, and application procedures is available
at the office of the Graduate Awards Specialist in the Faculty of Graduate Studies
and Research.
Eligibility
In the case of fellowships, grants, scholarships, etc., for which students
must make application, it is the individual student's responsibility to establish
his/her eligibility. Should it become known that a student is unqualified for
any reason, he/she must return the funds already received, with the University
assuming no responsibility.
Departments recommending students for internal awards must accept full responsibility
for the eligibility of their nominees.
Students are urged to consult carefully the brochures and announcements which
specify the conditions associated with tenure of individual awards.
This information is available in the office of the Faculty of Graduate Studies
and Research and in departmental offices.
Awards Administered by Carleton University
The awards administered by Carleton University are derived from a variety of
sources. Throughout the years, a number of individuals and organizations have
contributed substantial funds to the University, through bequests and donations,
in order to help support students in various fields of study.
These sums, together with the assistantship funds made available from the University
budget, make up the reservoir from which the Carleton scholarships and assistantships
are drawn.
It is not always possible to identify precisely the sources of various donations
and bequests (often small, but most important in the aggregate) from which any
graduate student's financial support has been constructed. In the following
cases, however, either because of the relative importance of the contribution
or because of the fact that it is earmarked for a specific type of student or
program, we do identify the external source from which the award has originated.

and all other provinces except Quebec may qualify for assistance from the Canada
Student Loans Plan through their home province. The loan is interest free while
the student is enrolled full time. Some provinces also make available non-repayable
grant assistance along with this federal loan.
- The Awards office disburses general information on the various provincial
aid schemes, but application forms and details on individual programs must be
obtained from the authorities in the home province. Deadline dates vary but,
generally speaking, it is wise to apply for financial assistance through the
appropriate provincial department before June 30.
- Quebec Aid
- Applications from students for assistance from the province of Quebec should
be made directly to the Awards office. Deadline dates for submission of applications
are May 31 for all students who submitted an application for the previous school
year and June 30 for all students who did not submit an application for the
previous school year. In order to be accepted by the Department of Education,
all applications must be coded by the Awards office.
- The above government assistance programs are subject to change.
University Loan Funds
- John Parker Loan Fund
- This fund was established to provide loans of up to $1,000 to students in their
first year of studies at Carleton University, and up to $1,500 in future years
to students who require financial assistance to meet their educational costs.
This fund also provides emergency loans for 60 days or less to students whose
funds from other sources have been delayed. Application forms are available
