Funding Opportunities
Carleton University Experiential Learning Fund
Established in October 2018, the Carleton University Experiential Learning Fund provides additional support for the development of experiential learning opportunities in academic courses and programs. Experiential learning is the application of theory and academic content to real-world experiences, either within the classroom, the community, or the workplace, which advances program or course-based learning outcomes that are specifically focused on employability skills.
Shared Online Projects Initiative (SOPI)
In light of the shift to online teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic, Carleton University and the University of Ottawa have established the Shared Online Projects Initiative (SOPI). This innovative, cross-institutional initiative provides instructors with grants of up to $8,000 each to work with colleagues at the partner university in developing online courses or modules.
