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.
The Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research maintains
an information system to assist the Carleton community in identifying funding
opportunities for graduate studies. The information system is available
at the Web site: http://www.carleton.ca
and contains information on agency deadlines and the application procedures.
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.
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. 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.
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.
