Empower Student Success
Western Fund
The Western Fund is Western’s flexibility fund — our ability to say “yes” when opportunity knocks. It’s the strategic reserve that lets us respond immediately to student emergencies, seize breakthrough research opportunities and develop collaborative and educational spaces across campus.
Student Support Fund
The Student Support Fund is a vital lifeline for students, enabling them to thrive academically and personally. By giving to the Student Support Fund, you provide access to things like financial relief through awards, scholarships and bursaries, as well as experiential learning opportunities and wellness initiatives — opening doors to education, easing financial stress and allowing students to focus on achieving their full potential.
Western Libraries
The Western Libraries Fund enhances resources, spaces and services that support student learning and research success. Your gift helps expand collections, improve study spaces and provide innovative tools and technology — ensuring every student has access to the knowledge and support they need to thrive.
Undergraduate Student Research Internship (USRI)
The USRI program gives undergraduate students the opportunity to spend their summer tackling real-world research projects alongside Western faculty mentors. These paid internships provide hands-on experience, build valuable skills and spark curiosity while making research opportunities more accessible to students from all backgrounds.
McIntosh Gallery
The McIntosh Gallery Fund supports exhibitions, acquisitions and educational programs that connect the Western community with thought-provoking art from Canada and around the world. Your gift helps preserve and grow the collection, showcase emerging and established artists, and create opportunities for learning, dialogue and cultural engagement.
