National Scholarship Program

National Scholarship Program

• National Scholarships are designed to recognize all-round excellence. They are awarded on the basis of outstanding academic performance to candidates who demonstrate ability for creative and innovative thought and a passion for the pursuit of learning. National Scholarships also recognize exceptional achievement in extracurricular activities such as the arts and athletics. A special emphasis is placed on a candidate's commitment to community service through ongoing contributions to school and community life.
• International students (students who are not Canadian citizens or permanent residents of Canada) who are applying to Western's main campus directly from secondary school or equivalent, are eligible to be considered for the International President's Entrance Scholarships offered through the National Scholarship Program.
