In addition to such academic honors as distinction, dean’s list, Phi Beta Kappa, Mortar Board, and Latin honors, many of our alumni have received prizes or fellowships — both internal (from Carleton) and external. Some of these are awarded without application, but for many you must apply.

These awards are attainable, and we encourage you to apply. They are a recognition of excellence, and some of them provide specific, new opportunities. See Student Fellowships for more information.

Below are some of the awards and prizes conferred upon French majors, minors, concentrators, and certificators during their time at Carleton. (Of course, many other honors have been earned later, throughout their professional lives.)
