Western University International President's Entrance Scholarship
The International President's Entrance Scholarships are part of Western University's prestigious National Scholarship Program, designed to recognize outstanding international students demonstrating all-round excellence in academics, leadership, creativity, and community involvement. There are 3 awards available, each valued at $100,000 over four years of full-time undergraduate study at Western's main campus in London, Ontario.
