Stay-in-Canada Professional Master's Admission Scholarship

To help decrease the costs of studying in Canada for our international professional Master’s graduate students, Western is pleased to launch the new Stay-in-Canada Professional Master's Admission Scholarship for international students completing an undergraduate degree at Western.

This new scholarship for international graduate students will cover the equivalent of 25% of a student’s professional Master’s program* tuition fee.

This scholarship program represents a new investment in international graduate student support by providing greater flexibility to continue their studies in Canada, and help them open up new career opportunities for the future.

Western is proud to offer these scholarships as we expand and enhance our overall commitment to supporting Canada’s international graduate students.
