Accountancy Scholarships

You’ve worked hard to build a strong academic record, so when it comes to financing your education, your hard work can pay off through accountancy scholarships. Available for both undergraduates and graduate students, Western scholarships are based on academic record and financial need. And if you’ve already demonstrated exemplary intellectual promise at the undergraduate level, we grant presidential scholarships.
