The Dr. John Davis Burton Award was created in the memory of Dr. John Davis Burton, who made significant contributions toward awareness, equity, and integration of persons with disabilities throughout his career as an educator and coordinator of educational support services both at Carleton University and Algonquin College.
Open to students from Carleton, Ottawa U, Algonquin, and La Cite Collegiale, Dr. John Davis Burton Award recipients represent a distinguished group who have each demonstrated a significant contribution towards awareness, equality and integration of persons with disabilities in their home institutions as well as the larger community, each in their own unique ways, within their areas of study and interest.
Information about what to include in your application, the application form, and an FAQ is available on our Dr. John Davis Burton Award webpage.
Applications for the 2024 cycle of the award are open until May 31, 2024. Please note that no late or incomplete applications will be considered.
