Financing your education can seem overwhelming, but there are many people who are committed to helping you sort it out.
Scholarships
Carleton University awards scholarships tenable at the University, in the Fall/Winter session of the year of offer to entrance and in-course full-time undergraduate students who have demonstrated a high potential for university studies. The intention of the scholarship policy is to recognize, attract and provide incentives for excellence.
Entrance Scholarships
Carleton offers a variety of entrance scholarships for new students. For more information about Entrance Scholarships and other scholarships available to new students visit the Awards site.
How Scholarships Are Applied
Provided it is not contrary to the terms of the award, scholarships administered by Carleton University will first be applied to your tuition fees. A scholarship will be applied directly to your fees in two installments, half in mid-August for the fall term and half in mid-December for the winter term, provided you have registered and remain registered for the full academic year (minimum four credits in the Fall/Winter session).
Bursaries
A bursary is a monetary award that is granted on the basis of financial need. Bursaries are different than scholarships. Scholarships are merit-based and are awarded for academic achievement. Bursaries are financial-need based awards that do not have to be repaid. The intention of the undergraduate bursary program is to supplement, not replace a student’s primary source of funding such as OSAP, government student financial assistance from another province or loan funding from a financial institution.
Before You Register
You can use our Fee Estimator to estimate what your fees will be for the academic year. The estimator takes into account your year of study, program, and how many courses you will be registering in to provide you with an estimate that is as accurate as possible.
After Registration
You will need to figure out what your total amount to pay will be. To find out how much you will need to pay, log into Carleton Central and click on ‘calculate amount to pay’ under the Registration heading. As a student at Carleton University, you are responsible for paying your fees on time, as well as keeping yourself informed about the fees on your student account. Make sure you regularly check your account balance on Carleton Central as Carleton Central will always reflect the current fees on your account, and is updated whenever new charges or payments are applied to your account.
