• ✓ Your completed application by June 30

About this award

You can receive a one-time payment of $4,000. 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 the University of New Brunswick (UNB) who is starting your medical studies. You must apply by June 30. When you apply, ask University of New Brunswick how and when you will hear back — whether by email, phone, or a student portal. Selection is based on your financial need and your scholastic attainment (your grades and academic achievements). Only one scholarship is awarded, so 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, while others apply funds to tuition. Confirm this so you can plan your cash flow. Renewal conditions aren't listed — if you are counting on this for multiple years, confirm with University of New Brunswick whether it is a one-time award or if you can apply again.

Who qualifies

You must be a graduate of the University of New Brunswick (UNB) who is beginning the Dalhousie Medical program, hosted at UNB Saint John.

Tips for applying

• Financial NeedAvoid providing a vague statement about needing money. Instead, give a clear picture of your current financial situation and how this $4,000 would help you focus on your medical studies. List your specific expenses and gaps in funding.
• 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 why you are a strong fit for the Dalhousie Medical program at the Saint John campus. Mention your connection to the region if applicable.
• RealismAvoid assuming you will win because you graduated from UNB. Instead, remember that only one scholarship is given. Apply early to ensure your materials are complete.
