As part of the Comprehensive Fee to attend Carleton, every student pays a mandatory Carleton Student Association (CSA) Activity Fee each term they are enrolled. The CSA Activity Fee funds student organizations and other student programming. Because CSA recognizes this fee can pose a financial burden for some members of our community, they set aside funds every year to help relieve some of that burden through the CSA Activity Fee Financial Support Fund. CSA encourages all students receiving need-based financial aid and have accepted their full financial aid package to apply for a fee waiver of up to $180 ($60 per term on campus) to help offset the cost of the CSA Activity Fee.
