Costs and Finances

Scholarships for International Students, and Canadian Citizens or Permanent Residents Applying from Abroad

Canadian citizens, Permanent Residents and International students are eligible for admission scholarships. Eligibility is based on your average as calculated for admission purposes.  Scholarships are automatically awarded upon admission.  The value of the scholarship is based on final marks. 

Students with a final average of 95% or above applying to the Faculties of Arts, Engineering, Information and Media Studies, Music, Health Sciences, Science, and Social Science can obtain four-year continuing scholarships worth $10,000 CAD.  That’s $2,500 CAD for each of your four years at Western! 

There are also an unlimited number of one-year admission scholarships valued between $1,000 CAD and $2,000 CAD beginning with a final average of 88 per cent.  Your scholarship increases as your final admission average increases.
