About this award

No fixed dollar amount is posted — contact Carleton University to confirm the value for your specific award before you apply. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep and you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are an undergraduate student living with a physical disability who relies on financial aid to continue your studies. You must submit your application by October 31. You will be notified of the decision in mid-December. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Carleton University how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. 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

You qualify if you are an undergraduate student at Carleton University with a physical disability. You must be in good academic standing, in need of financial assistance, and proceeding from one year to another of your undergraduate program.

Tips for applying

  • Financial NeedAvoid giving vague descriptions of your situation. Instead, provide clear details about your specific financial gaps. List your monthly expenses and existing income sources to show why you need this aid.
  • SupportAvoid submitting your application without checking your status. Instead, ensure your registration is up to date. Contact the Carleton University registrar to confirm you are officially listed as a registered student.
  • StrategyAvoid waiting until the last minute to log in. Instead, access the Undergraduate Online Application Forms system on Carleton Central as soon as Fall classes begin in September. This gives you time to resolve any technical issues before the October 31 deadline.
