Nominators can be students, faculty, associations, on- or off-campus groups, administration, or alumni. While there is no cash component to this award, it is a great way to recognise deserving grads. Four awards will be handed out per year, normally in April. Applicants must be members of the GSA.

The Carleton Graduate Students' Association, Library, and Research Office Joint Open Access Publishing Award was established in 2010 to support Carleton University graduate students in publishing research in open access journals. Open access journals are an alternative to the current user-pay system for accessing academic research. Fees are charged to the author/creator in order to make them open an accessible. This award is designed to offset these publishing fees for graduate students. Up to five monetary awards of $1000.00 will be distributed.

Applicants should first read documentation for the award, including frequently asked questions.

Deadline: December 2, 2011. Winners will be announced in early February 2012.
