Hello all! I'm considering the University of New Brunswick for my studies, and I’m trying to find out about scholarships for international students. Has anyone applied? What are the eligibility criteria and deadlines I should be aware of? Thanks!
The University of New Brunswick (UNB) indeed offers a multitude of scholarship opportunities for international students!
There are a few general requirements to be considered for a scholarship at UNB. First, you must be a full-time, degree-seeking international student. Second, your academic performance is considered, typically favoring students with high academic standing.
One of the merit-based scholarships available to international undergraduate students is the UNB International Baccalaureate Scholarship, which is automatically awarded based on your International Baccalaureate (IB) grades.
If you plan to pursue a master's or doctoral degree, you should look into the UNB Graduate Scholarships. These are merit-based and are given to students based on academic excellence.
The deadlines for scholarship applications at UNB can vary, so it's essential to check the exact dates on the university's official website. Generally, most scholarship applications for the fall semester start as early as October or November of the preceding year, with deadlines in the early spring, typically around March. If you are applying for graduate studies, the application deadline is typically earlier for international students, often in January or February.
Be aware that specific scholarships may have additional requirements and separate application processes. It's a good idea to explore all available funding opportunities through the university's official financial aid and scholarship webpage.
Another avenue to explore might be department-specific scholarships, depending on your intended field of study. These scholarships may require additional application materials and may have their own separate deadlines. It could be beneficial to reach out to your chosen department for more information regarding these opportunities.
Please remember that you must also meet the university’s general admission criteria to be considered for scholarships.
Good luck with your applications!
