GSA Grant for Students Impacted from Conflict, Crises and War

 

In response to global crises, including warfare, conflict and natural disasters, GSA Carleton is initiating a grant for our members of the international community. This grant aims to assist current GSA Carleton members affected by these events. The nature of these crises can range from military occupations to life-threatening situations such as supply shortages, injuries, race-based violence, religious persecution, and family separation or loss. The grant is designed to offer broad eligibility to members facing various forms of hardship. Despite the existing GSA Emergency Grant, the unique circumstances of ongoing global conflicts, crises and wars have led to several students altering their education plans, including dropping courses. This fund seeks to support those students impacted by international crises.
