Carleton University President's Welcome Award for International Students
Offered by Carleton University
About this scholarship
Carleton University's President's Welcome Award for International Students is an automatic entrance award for international undergraduates beginning in September 2026. The official scholarships page lists the value as CAD $2,000 to CAD $5,000, depending on the student's grades at the time of admission, and describes the number as unlimited. The award is offered in addition to other Carleton Entrance Scholarships, so a strong student may receive it alongside Carleton's broader renewable entrance-scholarship program if they meet those criteria. To qualify, students must be international undergraduate applicants entering directly from high school and paying international student fees. No separate award application is required for the President's Welcome Award; Carleton automatically considers eligible admitted international students. The award is partial funding because it is a first-year entrance amount and does not cover full tuition, housing, food, insurance, books, or other study costs in Ottawa. Students should complete the normal undergraduate admission process, meet program-specific and English-language requirements, and watch their offer and scholarship communications for the exact value awarded. The page also lists a separate International Students' Tuition Prize for deposit-paid admitted students, but this entry records the President's Welcome Award only.
