Bursaries

Bursaries are non-repayable grants provided by various benefactors to assist students who demonstrate financial need. Bursaries normally range in value from $500 to $2,000. If you qualify for government assistance, you are expected to apply first for that source of funding. Financial Assitance application forms are available on the Student Financial Services web site: www.registrar.uwo.ca/ (choose bursaries tab).

Work Study

Western offers a Work Study Plan that helps students to meet their educational expenses. Part-time positions are available on campus during the academic year. To be eligible, you must be enrolled in at least a 60% course load in each term and demonstrate financial need. In most situations the maximum amount available is $1,000 per term.

Out-of-Province Students

Apply for assistance through your provincial Ministry of Education. The aid provided is tenable at any recognized Canadian university.

International Students

International students may be eligible for consideration for bursary assistance. The Ministry of Employment and Immigration, however, requires that all international students show they have adequate resources before they may be admitted to Canada. Consequently, a bursary will normally be awarded only if there is evidence that circumstances have changed since arrival in Canada. Information about the Visa Student Bursary Program may be obtained from the International Student Advisor's Office, UCC 210.
