UNB Entrance Scholarships

University of New Brunswick, Canada

Scholarship overview

The University of New Brunswick guarantees an entrance scholarship to high school applicants with an 80% or higher scholarship average who submit a scholarship application, with support ranging from $500 to $100,000.

One entrance scholarship application, submitted after admission, covers the majority of UNB's undergraduate scholarships for both Canadian and international high school applicants entering a full-time undergraduate degree program in the fall (minimum 9 credit hours per term). Thousands of scholarships are awarded each year from alumni donations and UNB's own funding.

Alongside the general entrance application, applicants are encouraged to apply separately for a number of UNB's largest named scholarships.
