Impacts of Your Gift


Carleton students share how receiving student aid has helped them pursue their passions, overcome challenges and reach their academic goals:

“As a student, I’ve learned that the more time I have to focus on my studies, the better prepared I am for the next semester. That’s why access to bursaries and scholarships is so important. It provides us with a solid foundation from which we can build a successful university experience and a rewarding career.

And, with inflation continuing to impact prices and student budgets, a bursary or scholarship is sometimes the only opportunity some students have to stay in university or attend at all.

I know firsthand, your gift for student aid will a mean a lot. Just like I did, students will smile when they receive your support. They’ll be so grateful for your investment in their success and student experience.”

Jerelle, Undergraduate Student, Physics and Statistics

"Your generosity has allowed me to pursue my dreams without worrying about the financial challenges that come with higher education. Receiving this scholarship is not only a financial blessing, but also an encouragement to work harder and to strive for excellence in my academic pursuits. I am determined to make the most of this opportunity, and I promise to use the knowledge and skills that I acquire to make a positive difference in my community."

Mastoor, PhD Student, Applied Linguistics and Discourse Studies

"Higher education is unattainable for many due to the cost, but awards like these make a real difference. I feel extremely privileged to have received this award, having support from not only my loved ones but from the generosity of donors who do not even know me motivates me to continue my hard work and do my best to continue being a straight-A student. I hope that one day I am able to live comfortably enough to return the favour and support other students because it truly makes a difference."
