On November 29, 2018, CFUW-Ottawa had the honour of receiving the Carleton University Leadership in Philanthropy Award, which is presented annually to an individual or organization who has had a significant impact on the University. The University noted that it is proud of the partnership that the Canadian Federation of University Women-Ottawa has with Carleton University and that our leadership and generosity will continue to support generations of Carleton students and is an inspiration to many. 

Each year we award $15,500 in scholarships to students attending Carleton and over the years we have given over $330,000 in scholarships to Carleton students.
