Applying for and receiving financial aid is an important part of university life. With costs to attend increasing, it is important to look at all your financial aid options which includes reading up on scholarships and bursaries available.
Bursaries are non-repayable awards granted to students who can demonstrate financial need. They are designed to assist students in completing their studies and to supplement, not replace other forms of funding or resources.
Some bursaries have specific eligibility criteria such as the applicant’s city, region, or program of study. Part-time bursaries are for students who have not been full-time within the last 12 months.
Contact finaidsj@unb.ca for the General Bursary Application.
Note: There are more applicants than available bursaries. The submission of an application does not guarantee that you will receive a bursary. Priority will be given to students who demonstrate urgent financial need.
