    The University of New Brunswick (UNB) was established in 1785 and is Canada’s oldest English-language university. It’s a public university with two campus locations both in New Brunswick, with the original campus in Fredericton, and a smaller campus in Saint John.

    UNB is one of Canada’s top comprehensive universities, with more than 75 programs available at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. The University is made up of more than 10 faculties, including art, business, education, engineering, law, nursing, and science.

    Fees and funding

    UNB offers millions of dollars in scholarship support each year to offset some of the costs of a university education. Eligible international students include high school applicants, students transferring from another post-secondary institution as well as students continuing their studies at UNB.

    International students can be considered for scholarships once they are accepted and while studying at the University of New Brunswick. New UNB students will be assessed for scholarship support at the same time they’re being assessed for admission to their program. They are also encouraged to submit an entrance scholarship application. All continuing UNB students need to submit a scholarship application each year to be considered for scholarship support. The primary consideration for scholarship support at UNB is academic achievement.
