Terms and Eligibility

Each student is eligible to apply for funds to take part in conventions, conferences, campaigns, or other activities relevant to the practice of political management. The fund can be used to pay for transportation, accommodation, per diems (for meals and incidental expenses), registration fees, or other reasonable costs associated with these events. For legal reasons, we cannot reimburse students for fees paid to political parties or registered charities.

Each year, the MPM Director will determine the maximum amount available per student. Please contact the Graduate Program Administrator at mpm@carleton.ca for the amount available for the current academic year. You may use the fund for multiple events, as long as the per student limit is not exceeded. We are unable to provide advances. Please note: There is no guarantee that applications will be approved, unreasonable requests will be denied.

Application Deadline: Minimum of 45 days prior to the proposed event.
