Some of them are for specific programs, while others are open to anyone who attends UNB. These scholarships can help make your education free or more affordable by providing financial assistance during your time at university.
Dr. Clay Carter Memorial Scholarship
The Dr. Clay Carter Memorial Scholarship is available to students who are entering their first year at the University of New Brunswick. The scholarship was established in memory of Dr. Clay Carter, who served as the university’s president from 1988 until his death in 1997.
The award amount varies depending on the applicant’s academic achievements and financial need but can range from $1,000-$2,500 per year over four years (or up to $8,000 over eight years).
Eligible applicants must meet a number of requirements:
- They must be Canadian citizens or permanent residents;
- They must have completed high school within two years before enrolling at UNB, and they must have demonstrated academic excellence by earning an average grade point average (GPA) greater than 3.0 across all courses taken during high school enrollment/completion times at UNB.
