Carleton University Graduate Scholarships

Q: Do I need to apply separately for Carleton University Graduate Scholarships as an international student from India?

Generally, no. When you submit your application for admission to a graduate program at Carleton University, you are automatically considered for many internal admissions funding opportunities. A separate scholarship application is typically not required for these awards. If you are eligible for funding, you will be notified in your official Offer of Admission and Funding.

Q: What is the minimum academic requirement to be considered for graduate scholarships?

While specific scholarship requirements may vary, general admission to a Master's program usually requires a B+ (3.3) or 77% minimum GPA in your major subjects and a B- (2.7) or better overall in your undergraduate degree. For Doctoral programs, a completed Master's degree with a B+ (3.3) or better in your courses and no grade below a B (3.0) is typically expected. For specific merit-based awards like the Ontario Graduate Scholarship, a 10.0 GPA (A-) in your last two years of full-time study is often required.

Q: How and when are scholarship funds disbursed to students?

Scholarships administered by Carleton University are credited directly to your Carleton student account and are applied towards your fees. The funds are disbursed in two installments: one-half for the fall term and the other half for the winter term, provided you are registered and maintain a minimum of 4.0 credits over the Fall/Winter session combined.

All international PhD students may also be eligible for the International Doctoral Tuition Support, which reduces their tuition to the domestic level for up to five years.
