Financial Support
The Religion program has a proportionately large number of scholarships and bursaries available to Religion Majors and Double Majors, including the Bertha F. Davis Award in Religion, the Allama Mohammad Iqbal Award for Islamic Studies, the Robert E. Osborne Scholarship in Religion, and the Edgar and Dorothy Davidson Bursary in Religious Studies. All of these honours are awarded to students at the annual Davidson Dinner. Please contact Michelle Fotheringham or Chris Jensen for more details (Michelle.Fotheringham@carleton.ca) / (ChristopherJensen@cunet.carleton.ca).
In addition, the generosity of the Davidson family also makes it possible for us to offer travel funding for undergraduate Religion Majors to attend conferences and share research: a rare opportunity! More information can be found here.
