ESP Entrance Bursaries
ESP has five special bursaries created by donors for new students coming in to ESP. A bursary is a financial award made based on financial need. They are more like a scholarship than a loan because bursaries (like scholarships) do not have to be repaid.
- Please note: While the terms of the ESP entrance bursaries are quite specific, there are other bursaries available to ESP students that have much broader terms. The general Carleton bursary application will open in September and you’ll have till October 31st to apply. Those bursaries are awarded in January. Reminders will be sent to you by email in our ESP Advising Bulletins throughout the term.
The application deadline for ESP entrance bursaries is Thursday, August 31st at midnight.
