How to Apply
- Eligibility
- Application
You must be an Indigenous student entering the first year of a full-time undergraduate degree program in Science at Carleton University. You must demonstrate financial need, by completing and submitting the application form, and demonstrate diligence through academic work.
Complete the 2026-2027 application form and submit it directly to Carleton's Awards and Financial Aid office at awards@carleton.ca, with one letter of academic reference and one letter of reference from a community leader (for example a member of Chief and Council, an elder, or staff at a community-based Indigenous organization). The form asks for your Carleton Student ID. Proof of Indigenous identity is a mandatory part of applying for awards limited to Indigenous (First Nation, Métis or Inuit) applicants; Carleton lists the accepted documents on its Confirming Indigenous Identity for Awards page. Late or incomplete applications will not be considered. Deadline: October 31 (the form prints no year).
