President’s International Admissions Scholarships

Eligibility will be based in part on the admission offer average calculated by Western's Admissions Office. Western will determine averages for applicants who are not studying in a Canadian secondary school curriculum based on: curriculum, grading practices, and grading scale interpretation.

Preference will be given to students from underrepresented regions.

To retain the scholarship offer in the first year, you must:

You must meet the admission conditions as specified in your offer package.

Register to an undergraduate degree program at the main campus and take a full course load (5.0 courses) during the Fall/Winter academic year (September to April).

Students who reduce their course registration to 3.5 course load will be able to retain the scholarship in their first year. However, the scholarship will not be eligible for renewal the following year. Please see the notes below for the scholarship renewal conditions.

If you enroll or reduce your course load to part-time (less than 3.5 course load) or withdraw from the academic year, you will not be eligible to keep your international scholarship.

International Admission Scholarships cannot be deferred.

To renew the scholarship offer in the upper year, you must:
