About this award

You can receive one of two or more non-renewable scholarships valued at $2,000 each. As a scholarship, this money is yours to keep and you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you live in the Keswick Ridge/Mactaquac area and are pursuing your education at the University of New Brunswick (UNB). You must apply by June 15. When you apply, ask the Fredericton Community Foundation how and when you will hear back — whether by email, phone, or a portal. The Isabel Coburn Scholarship Trust Committee chooses the winners based on your academic achievement, your involvement in extracurricular activities, and your financial need. Ask Fredericton Community Foundation how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Fredericton Community Foundation 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. These awards are non-renewable, meaning you receive the money once. Since renewal conditions aren't listed, confirm with Fredericton Community Foundation if there are any specific requirements to maintain the funding for the year you receive it.

Who qualifies

You must be a student from Keswick Ridge/Mactaquac who is either entering or currently attending UNB (the University of New Brunswick).

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 $2,000 would help you stay in school. List your specific monthly gaps if possible.
• StrategyAvoid focusing only on your grades. Instead, balance your application by showing both your academic success and your life outside the classroom, as the committee looks for both.
• RealismAvoid assuming that being from the local area guarantees a win. Instead, treat this as a competitive process and ensure every part of your academic and financial profile is documented.
