Carleton University is proud to offer one of the most generous scholarship programs in Canada. Last year, more than 11,000 scholarships and bursaries totaling over $16.4 million were awarded to undergraduate students coming from across Canada and around the world.

Undergraduate Entrance Awards – An unlimited number of entrance scholarships are automatically offered to all high school students who meet our academic and language requirements. This means no separate application! The scholarship amount is based on applicants’ previous academic performance and ranges from $1000 to $16,000 awarded across 4 years of study. See the Awards for International Students for more information.
