Student scholarships & bursaries
Scholarships, bursaries and other awards are available both internally and externally.
Internally, the University of New Brunswick provides over $4 million in scholarship money each year thanks to donations from generous alumni and other supporters as well as an ongoing commitment to devote university funds for students. For more information regarding UNB scholarships, visit the Money Matters info page.
The UNB Special Bursary is a needs-based undergraduate student bursary valued up to $1,000, and is available to Canadian, Landed, Permanent Resident (domestic students) who are full-time UNB students with demonstrated financial need and in good academic standing (min 2.0 gpa). The 2013 application for those attending UNB Saint John is due on January 20, 2013.
Externally, thousands of organizations provide both scholarships and bursaries to students. Conducting an award search can be time consuming but, when done right, can yield hundreds of dollars in free money. That is, money that doesn't have to be repaid. UNB hosts a database of external awards that you can search through based on deadline date, alphabetical name or category. It's important that you start your search early so that you do not miss any potential opportunities.
