Important Notice: It is the practice of the University to disclose a student’s name, address, biographical data faculty, academic programs, and any other information needed to confirm a student recipient’s eligibility and receipt of a specific scholarship, award or bursary to the donor of the scholarship, award or bursary.
A student’s name, name of the scholarship, bursary or award, faculty and or program, year of study and any other any other information relevant to the scholarship, award or bursary may also be included in publications prepared for donors that list recipients of donor-funded scholarships, awards and bursaries. Such publications will not include any contact information or other identifying details.
Any such publications will be distributed to donors who supported students and may also be presented to the families of deceased donors, official donor contacts and selected potential donors to encourage gifts.
If you do not wish to be included in such publications, you must log in to the Student Services website https://studentservices.uwo.ca/secure/index.cfm by May 30 of the relevant academic year. Select “My Present,” and under the Financial Assistance heading, you will see “Recipient Report Click here to opt out.” Your wishes will be honoured and your decision will in no way affect your eligibility to receive future scholarships, bursaries or need-based awards.
