Please direct any questions regarding scholarship eligibility for your specific situation to the International Undergraduate Recruitment team at international@uwo.ca.

• You must be studying on a Canadian study permit and paying international student tuition and fees.  Any changes to your status in Canada that qualify you for domestic fees (i.e., Who Pays Canadian Tuition Fees?) after receiving a scholarship offer may render you ineligible for the initial and any continuing payments.

• You must meet the admission conditions as specified in your offer package.

The residence guarantee is not conditional on meeting requirements for scholarship fund renewal in your upper years.
