Awards
The Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry celebrates excellence in research and academics, offering one of the highest levels of financial support for graduate students at Western University and across Canada.
There are a variety of internal awards, scholarships and fellowships available to celebrate the achievements of our graduate students. We encourage all students to carefully research each award, scholarship and fellowship and apply to the ones for which they are eligible.
Scholarships and awards are established and funded by individual donors, corporations, faculties, departments, and the governing body at Western.
Please note to all students who are applying to the below awards, you will not need an official transcript. Students may use their unofficial Western University transcript, found in the student centre. If you are applying to multiple awards (as the program has nominated you), you can use one transcript, and please be sure to name it "last name_first name_transcript". If you have any questions, you may email Janelle Pritchard directly at: jpritch7@uwo.ca.
Important info about the Dean's Research Scholarship: if you would like our office to use your OGS application, it would need to be as is, and we cannot change/alter it in any way. And your transcript (your student centre grades in PDF is fine) would still be required as part of the complete application.
