Does
UNB offer Financial
Assistance?
The University of
New Brunswick has been an established tradition in the Maritimes
for more than 200 years. Through these two centuries of educational
leadership, UNB has remained at the
forefront of Canadian universities.
Our students earn more national graduate fellowships than any other
institution in the Atlantic region and our research programs are
among the finest in the country, with more than $14 million
worth of grants and contracts awarded annually.
UNB does offer scholarships limited to
increments of $500, $1000 and $1500. These one-time entrance
scholarships are for first-year students applying directly from
high school and are based on academic performance. Students do not
have to fill out any additional forms to apply for these
scholarships; they are applied for automatically upon receipt of
application to a UNB program.
UNB's Scholarship Guarantee Program
All students who
have been admitted to a UNB degree
program on the basis of their high school marks and have
Scholarship Averages of 80 per cent or higher will receive a
scholarship offer from UNB. UNB
guarantees students with Scholarship Averages:
| Criteria (High School Scores) | Scholarship Support |
| Between 80 to 84.9 | $500 Canadian dollars |
| Between 85 to 89.9 | $500 Canadian dollars |
| 90 or higher | $1,500 Canadian dollars |
Once a student
has attended UNB for one year, they may
be eligible for a range of scholarships for continuing
students.
This scholarship
support may come in the form of one or more scholarships that are
combined to provide the student with the guaranteed amount.
UNB calculates a Scholarship Average
which is the Admission Average plus bonus points for Grade 11 and
12 enriched courses. Bonus points are added directly to the
Scholarship Average, as long as a mark of 75 percent or higher is
achieved in the course.
* one bonus point
for 1 to 3 enriched courses;
* a maximum of
two bonus points for 4 to 6 enriched courses;
* a maximum of
three bonus points for 7 to 9 enriched courses, and
* a maximum of
four bonus points for 10 or more enriched courses.
The Scholarship
Average is not rounded. The Scholarship Average may be recalculated
using Grade 12 final marks, upon request.
Students enrolled in the Miramichi Consortium who have been offered
a scholarship may have their scholarship deferred for one year. The
scholarship may be re-awarded based on the successful completion of
the first-year at home in the Miramichi Consortium and admission to
an undergraduate degree program at either UNB campus.
Information
for International Students
International
students are considered on an individual basis. The Guaranteed
Scholarships are provided on the basis of a recommendation from the
Registrar's Office for the admitting campus, to International
students who are beginning an undergraduate degree program at
UNB directly from high school.
International students who begin their degree courses in the Winter
term will have the full value of their scholarship applied to that
term.
International students who must undertake English language training
before beginning an undergraduate degree program must be
re-evaluated for the guaranteed scholarship by the Registrar's
Office for the admitting campus, upon the successful completion of
the English language training program.
