About this award

You can receive $12,500 from this scholarship. As a scholarship, this money is yours to keep and you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a student leader who has taken a stand for the environment, regardless of what you are studying. You must apply between January 1 and March 1. When you apply, ask University of New Brunswick how and when you'll hear back — whether it is by email, the portal, or phone. Selection criteria aren't published — ask University of New Brunswick how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive 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

You must be a continuing undergraduate student at the University of New Brunswick, in any discipline. To qualify, your application must demonstrate environmental leadership. This scholarship is tenable (meaning you can still receive the funds) while you are on an official exchange.

Tips for applying

  • Environmental LeadershipAvoid simply listing the clubs you joined. Instead, describe a specific project where your leadership led to a measurable environmental improvement. Detail the exact result of your actions.
  • SupportAvoid providing a generic character reference. Instead, ask a professor or community leader who witnessed your environmental work to vouch for your impact. Ensure they mention a specific instance of your leadership.
  • StrategyAvoid waiting until the end of February to start. Instead, begin drafting your leadership evidence in December so you can refine it before the March 1 deadline. Submit your application through the myUNB portal early to avoid technical glitches.
  • RealismAvoid assuming that being in an environmental program gives you an advantage. Since students from all disciplines can apply, focus your application on your external leadership actions rather than your classroom grades.
