What Western University International President's Entrance Scholarship actually covers.
Western University's International President's Entrance Scholarship stands as one of the most valuable undergraduate scholarships available to international students at a Canadian university, offering three awards each worth CAD 100,000 — equivalent to a fully funded four-year undergraduate education at Western. Located in London, Ontario, Western University is a globally recognised research institution with particular strengths in business (Ivey Business School), medicine, law, and the social sciences. This scholarship is renewable for up to four years, contingent on maintained academic excellence and active engagement with the university community. Beyond finances, recipients join a small and distinguished cohort of international scholars who are celebrated as some of Western's most promising students. For African students, this award opens the door to a world-class Canadian education at virtually no cost. Eligibility requires a minimum overall academic average of 90% in Grade 12 U/M courses or equivalent — a standard achievable by the most academically dedicated students from African school systems. International Baccalaureate and CEGEP students are explicitly eligible. The application is part of the Western National Scholarship Program and must be submitted via an online portal by February 14 each year, together with supporting documentation. An OUAC reference number is required, so students must have already submitted their Western application before completing the scholarship form. African students who meet the academic threshold and can articulate strong leadership and community impact stories are encouraged to apply.
