Graduate Funding

Domestic Students

When you submit an application to a program, administrators will automatically consider you for a possible admissions funding offer at the same time — a separate application is generally not required. If you are eligible for this funding, you will be notified on your Offer of Admission and Funding.

Additionally, you should consider applying for other awards and funding. These awards are provided by an organization, agency or council outside of Carleton and require a separate application — often one full year before the award begins.

International Students

Have you been in correspondence with a professor in the Department of Geography and Environmental Studies at Carleton?

Has that professor encouraged you to apply for admission to a graduate program in the Department and Environmental Studies at Carleton?

Has that professor stated that she/he is willing to supervise your studies, if your application is successful?

If you have not answered “Yes” to all of these questions, we strongly encourage you to review the International Students funding webpages prior to submitting an application for admission to our program.  As a result of the limited funding available to International students, it is extremely unlikely that your application for admission to our programs would be successful without the support of a potential supervisor and confirmation of your financial independence.  Please keep this in mind when considering your application plans.
