Arthur Kroeger College National Scholarships for Public Affairs and Policy Management

What you will need

• ✓ No application required — you are automatically considered based on your admission to the Bachelor of Public Affairs and Policy Management program

About this award

You can receive a $2,000 scholarship. This is a grant, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a high-achieving student starting your studies in public affairs and policy management. There is no separate application or deadline: eligible students entering the program are considered automatically. Eligible students are automatically considered based on their admissions average, so there is no separate application process. Selection is based on region, with two students chosen from each of the five designated areas of Canada. Ask Carleton University during your application how the money will reach you — some awards pay students directly, others apply funds to tuition. Confirm this so you can plan your cash flow. Renewal conditions aren't listed — if you're counting on this for multiple years, confirm with Carleton University whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

To qualify, you must be entering the Bachelor of Public Affairs and Policy Management program. You need a minimum admissions average of 90%. There are up to ten scholarships available in total, with two students selected from each of these five regions: British Columbia and Northern Canada, the Prairies, Ontario, Quebec, and Atlantic Canada.

Tips for applying

• Academic RecordAvoid focusing only on your final grade. Instead, ensure your overall admissions average is at least 90% to meet the hard requirement for this award. Check your calculated average with your guidance counselor.
• SupportAvoid assuming your application is complete without checking your regional designation. Instead, confirm that your home region matches one of the five categories used by Carleton University. Double-check your address on your admissions profile.
• StrategyAvoid waiting for a separate scholarship application form. Instead, focus on your primary admission application to Carleton University, as you are automatically considered for this award based on that file.
• RealismAvoid counting on this as your only source of funding. Instead, remember that only two students per region are selected, so you should apply for other grants and bursaries to secure your budget.
