Top-ranked MPPA applicants for full-time study, who are Canadian citizens or permanent-residents, are eligible to receive substantial financial assistance from Carleton in the form of scholarships and teaching assistantships.
Students are considered for funding and financial support when they are admitted into the program. A separate application is not required. In order to be considered for funding, you must submit a completed application (including all required documents) before February 1.
First Nations, Métis and Inuit students applying to the IPA programs are encouraged to self-identify on the online application and/or in their Statement of Intent as specific funding may be available to you.
Current and prospective MPPA students are encouraged to apply for SSHRC scholarships and Ontario Graduate Scholarships (OGS), which are awarded annually to outstanding students by the federal and provincial governments.
Please note that for international students, financial assistance from Carleton University (including teaching and research assistantships) is limited and is only available to a few outstanding applicants.
