This grant, established in 1979 by friends and colleagues of the late John Porter, will be awarded annually and is open to authors of book-length works. The applicants must be members of the Carleton University community whose manuscripts have been accepted by a reputable publisher, or persons not affiliated with Carleton University whose manuscripts have been accepted for publication in the Carleton Library series.
The award, which carries a value of $1,000 (to be applied against the cost of publication of the work), will be made on the basis of overall merit and contribution to the literature dealing with aspects of Canadian society. The recipient will be expected to deliver a public University lecture on the topic of the book, at or near the time of publication.
Applications or nominations should be directed to the grants committee,appointed by the Vice-President (Academic). The committee may decline to make an award in a given year for lack of meritorious candidates.
