Dr. Margot R. Roach Scholarship in Medicine

What you will need

• ✓ Your completed application by June 30

About this award

You can receive one of two scholarships valued at $10,000 each. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a graduate of UNB (University of New Brunswick) who is moving into the Dalhousie Medical program hosted at UNB Saint John. You must apply by June 30. When you apply, ask University of New Brunswick how and when you'll hear back — whether it is by email, phone, or a portal. Selection is based on your academic achievement and your financial need. Since the exact number of applicants isn't listed, ask University of New Brunswick how many people typically apply so you can judge your odds. Ask University of New Brunswick during your application how the money will reach you — some awards pay students directly, others apply funds to tuition. Confirm this so you can plan your cash flow. Renewal conditions aren't listed — if you're counting on this for multiple years, confirm with University of New Brunswick whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

To qualify, you must be a graduate of UNB (University of New Brunswick) and be beginning the Dalhousie Medical program hosted at UNB Saint John. You must also be a resident of New Brunswick.

• SupportAvoid waiting for the form to find you. Instead, email awards@unb.ca early to request the application, which covers all of UNB's Dalhousie Medical scholarships.
• StrategyAvoid sending a generic application. Instead, tailor your responses to show how your academic record and financial situation match the specific goals of this award. Mention your ties to New Brunswick clearly.
• RealismAvoid assuming you will win because you are a UNB graduate. Instead, remember that only two awards are given. Apply early to ensure your documents are processed by the June 30 deadline.
