Lifelong Learning Access Funding

Coming soon!

The CIE Access Endowment, founded by Allen B. Clarke, provides funds to develop the leadership capabilities of Carleton students working as peer mentors, workshop facilitators and academic coaches among other program supports.

• With the revenue from this endowment, we prioritize supporting former ESP students as they continue with their degree studies at Carleton.

DONATE TODAY to give leadership & professional development opportunities to ESP students and alumni!

For 25 years, Carleton’s Centre for Initiatives in Education (CIE) has provided innovative and evidence-based university opportunities to students of all ages and all walks of life.

• The Enriched Support Program (ESP) is an alternative admissions first year program with access AND support for those who might not otherwise have been admitted to university.
• Lifelong LEArning (LLeaP) provides vibrant community engagement through affordable non-credit courses taught by experts to adults of all ages.
• New projects in response to the pandemic include an in-development School-Within-a-University at Carleton for at-risk high school students, outreach to students in vulnerable communities with ESP Community Mentoring, and Carleton’s Academic Prep Course for incoming first year students in all faculties.
