Provider
Brescia University College, historically Canada's only women's university college and now part of Western University in London, Ontario, offers a range of entrance scholarships and grants to international and domestic students. The awards are partial, merit-based contributions toward the cost of study rather than full funding, and most are applied automatically when a student applies for admission. Reported amounts include a Head-of-School / Dean's admission award of around CAD 3,500, a Faculty Entry Scholarship of about CAD 2,500, Academic Excellence Grants of roughly CAD 2,000 (which must be applied for), and a College Admissions Success award near CAD 1,000. Brescia teaches mainly undergraduate programmes across foods and nutrition, health sciences, kinesiology, family studies, management and organizational studies, social sciences and the humanities, with a small graduate offering in Foods and Nutrition (MScFN). The college has historically enrolled about 1,500 students with a student-to-instructor ratio near 14:1. The 2026 entrance-award consideration deadline is expected around 15 August 2026. Because award names, values and deadlines change each year - and Brescia is now integrated into Western University - confirm the current scholarships, amounts and dates on the official Western/Brescia admissions page before you apply.
