University of Western Ontario (Western university), Canada

Western University in London, Ontario funds international students through two streams that the records below reflect. The first is merit: entrance scholarships for strong applicants, including awards decided automatically from the admission application, and continuing scholarships for students who keep their grades up. The second is need-based support, which Western administers through its financial aid office and which is mostly built around Canadian applicants, so international students should treat the merit stream as their main route.

Graduate funding at Western runs through the faculties. Research-based master's and doctoral students are supported by their department or supervisor through assistantships and the federal programs that apply across Canada, including the Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarships and the tri-council grants from NSERC, SSHRC and CIHR. Professional programs mostly combine faculty awards with self-funding.

When you read this page, the level and provider lines separate the entrance awards from the need-based pool and the graduate funding. Western publishes current rounds through its scholarships office, and each card links to the page that states the real deadline, which for entrance awards is normally the admission deadline.
