Your Impact on Students

Carleton scholarships, bursaries, and experiential learning opportunities advance accessibility to post-secondary education by reducing barriers that prevent students from achieving their full potential. Donors like you affirm our belief that access to a high-quality university education—including meaningful experiences beyond the classroom—should not be limited by financial circumstances.

“As an international student, this scholarship is not only a significant financial support but also a source of inspiration. It enables me to continue pursuing my research and academic goals with renewed energy and dedication. I am currently studying Inuit knowledge of eider ducks in collaboration with a community in Nunavut. This research is deeply important as it focuses on food security in the North, an issue that directly impacts the well-being of many northern communities. The funds from this scholarship will be instrumental in furthering my research, allowing me to engage more meaningfully with the community and contribute to the vital conversation around food security in the North.” Katharina, PhD Student, Geography
