Awards Policy
In recent years Carleton graduate students have been
increasingly successful in winning highly competitive external
scholarships. These include: the Doctoral Fellowship from the
Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada
(SSHRC), the Postgraduate (PGSA and PGSB) and Industrial
Postgraduate Scholarship (IPS) from the Natural Sciences and
Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) and the Canada
Graduate Scholarship (CGS) Master's Scholarship. The Province
of Ontario provides funding for the Ontario Graduate
Scholarships (OGS), and the Ontario Graduate Scholarships in
Science and Technology (OGSST).
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 scholarship and assistantship by
reversion.
Method of Payment
All awards administered by Carleton are paid semi-monthly,
on the 15th and the 30th of each month. The exception is the
first month of each term (September, January, May) when all
awards are paid at the end of the month.
Students are urged to note the above payment dates, and be
prepared to be financially self-sufficient during the months of
September, January and May, as no exceptions can be made.
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 that 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.
Please refer to the Graduate Studies and Research Web site
at: www.gs.carleton.ca for a complete, current listing of all
awards available to graduate students. Unless stated
otherwise, graduate students must be registered full-time in
the term in which the award is held in order to be eligible to
receive the awards listed below.

Government Aid Programs
Ontario Student Assistance Program
The Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP) is a program
designed to help Ontario students cover the cost of
post-secondary education. Funded by the federal and Ontario
governments, OSAP is intended to promote equality of
opportunity for post-secondary studies through direct financial
assistance for educational costs and living expenses. These
interest-free loans are intended to supplement your financial
resources and those of your family.
About 40 percent of full-time Carleton students presently
receive financial assistance through OSAP. The amount of
assistance you receive depends on your calculated financial
need. The Ontario Ministry of Education and Training determines
that amount with the following formula:
Allowable Educational Expenses minus Expected Financial
Contribution equals Calculated Financial Need.
Allowable educational expenses include such things as
tuition fees, books and equipment, living expenses, local
transportation expenses, and transportation expenses for
returning home. The calculation of the expected financial
contribution depends on such things as the resources of your
parents or spouse, summer earnings, earnings during the school
year, academic awards, income from government agencies, and
investment income.
To determine whether you are eligible for OSAP and to ensure
that you have the proper funding for the start of your studies
in September, you should submit your OSAP application by June
15. Application forms are available (usually by April) from the
Awards Office, the Ministry of Training, Colleges and
Universities or osap.gov.on.ca (the OSAP Web site). Once we've
received your application, the Awards Office will calculate the
amount of assistance you can expect to receive through OSAP. By
mid-June, you'll be able to access this information within two
weeks of your application submission by calling our Touchtone

Other provincial assistance programs
Canadian citizens or landed immigrants (permanent residents)
from the territories 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.
Residents of Quebec who are considering full-time
post-secondary education in Ontario may be eligible for loans
and bursaries from the Quebec Ministry of Education's Student
Loans and Bursaries Services in Quebec City.
Emergency Loans
If, as a registered student, you run into unexpected
expenses or your student loan is delayed, you may be able to
borrow up to $500 from the University's emergency loan fund
until your other funds arrive. Applications are available from
the Awards Office.
Parker Loans
If you are enrolled as a full-time student, you may be
eligible to borrow up to $1,000 if you are in your first year
of studies at Carleton, and $1,500 in future years to meet your
educational expenses for the academic year. Payment is due July
1. Applications are available from the Awards Office.
