The National Indigenous Scholarship Program is awarded annually to three incoming Indigenous undergraduate students (First Nations, Métis, and Inuit) studying full-time at Western’s main campus based on their outstanding academic excellence. The National Indigenous Scholarship also recognizes the candidate’s academic achievements, creative and innovative thinking, and previous or intended contributions to Indigenous communities (on and off reserve as well as urban settings).

Students who identify as Black or Indigenous and may be thinking of Medical School in the future, take note!

This pathway is the only one of its kind in Canada. Open exclusively to Black-identified and Indigenous students.
