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 Scholarships (Master's and Doctoral) and Industrial Postgraduate Scholarship (IPS) from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), the SSHRC Canada Graduate Scholarship (CGS) Scholarships (Master's and Doctoral) and the NSERC Canada Graduate Scholarships (Master's and Doctoral). The Province of Ontario provides funding for the Ontario Graduate Scholarships (OGS), and the Ontario Graduate Scholarships in Science and Technology (OGSST) for students enrolled in graduate programs in Ontario institutions.

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 gradua te 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 offer of financial assistance administered by Carleton University. However, in recent years many departments have set much 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 if funds are available.

Students who receive offers of funding from the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research are required to respond to the offer within 30 days of date of the letter.

Method of Payment

All awards administered by Carleton are paid 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 receiving awards of any kind are urged to note the above payment dates and be prepared to be financially self-sufficient during these months.

In addition, students receiving teaching assistantships, scholarships, or any other kind of award or bursary should note that the deadlines for payroll may differ from the registration deadlines. In the first month of each term (September, January and May) students must have completed registration, including finalizing arrangements for the payment of fees, no later than th e 15th of the month, in order to be eligible to receive payments at the end of the month.

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 comple te, 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.

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. B y mid-June, you'll be able to access this information within two weeks of your application submission by calling our Touchtone information system at (613) 520-7800.

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.
