Why Should You Apply for a Western Bursary?

Western University Bursaries offer a number of benefits for students, including the opportunity to earn money to help pay for school, the chance to gain valuable work experience, and the ability to network with Western University faculty and staff.

Bursaries can help relieve some of the financial burden associated with attending university. For students who demonstrate financial need, bursaries can cover a portion of tuition and fees. Also, for students who are unable to find paid employment during their studies, bursaries can provide much-needed income.

In addition, bursary recipients often have the opportunity to work in areas related to their field of study if they apply for the Work Study program, which can help them gain valuable experience and build their resumes whilst getting paid. Finally, bursary recipients often form strong connections with Western University faculty and staff, which can lead to internships, job opportunities, and academic advice and support. Given all of these benefits, it is clear why applying to Western University Bursaries is a great option for many students!

Western Bursaries

Western bursaries are need-based, and the amount of each bursary is determined by the student’s financial need. These bursaries supplement students’ primary sources of funding such as OSAP, bank loans/lines of credit and parental/spousal contributions. Students can apply for a bursary by filling out an application form and submitting it to the financial aid office.

Eligibility

Eligible students must be Canadian citizens or permanent residents, be registered at the main Western campus in a full or part-time program and demonstrate a genuine financial need.

How to Apply

The Bursary, Work Study & Need Based Award programs are all based on financial need and are all applied for via the online Financial Assistance Profile Application. 

The Fall/Winter 2022-23 application will be available through the Western Student Center at the end of August. Once logged into your Student Center account click on Apply for Financial Assistance in the Financial Assistance box to access the application or go to bursaries.uwo.ca.
