Making funding your education easy

Funding your education can be a stressful topic, and it can be incredibly time consuming having to write application after application for scholarships. UNB makes this process easier by having you fill out one application form that will consider you for the majority of their undergraduate scholarships. There are more than 1,500 scholarships, bursaries, and prizes available, and in 2021-2022, $10.2 million was awarded to students.

UNB also offers an undergraduate scholarship program, where for your first year, your scholarship offer is based on your scholarship average. Your scholarship average is essentially your admissions average plus bonus points for completed IB, AP, and/or enriched grade 11 and 12 courses.

Also, to help ease the stress about financials, UNB is offering a “First Year’s Tuition Free” contest where if you enter before June 3, 2022, you can win free tuition for the 2022-2023 academic year (over two semesters)!
