University of New Brunswick offers 150+ scholarships, of which 25+ are accessible to Indian applicants. The Fredericton campus disbursed over CAD 12.6 Million (INR 86 Crore) in entrance and renewable awards during the last cycle.
A mid-90s CBSE applicant can stack the Lady Vi Aitken Scholarship with the top International Recruitment Renewable Program tier. That combination trims yearly tuition by CAD 15,000 (INR 10.26 Lakhs) across four years.
Currency Note: All INR conversions use the live rate of 1 CAD = INR 68.42 as of August 2026. Amounts above INR 1 Lakh appear in Lakhs. Total cycle aggregates appear in Crore. Renewable means the award pays each year of study if you maintain the required average.

University of New Brunswick Scholarships for UG Students

| International Recruitment Renewable Program | $500 to $5,000 per year | INR 34,210 to INR 3.42 Lakhs/year | All international UG applicants; tier by admission average | March 1, 2026 |
| IB Entrance Scholarship | $5,000 per year | INR 3.42 Lakhs/year | Top-ranked incoming IB Diploma international student | March 1, 2026 |
The Renewable Program pays across five bands based on your admission average. A 100% average unlocks CAD 5,000 per year (INR 3.42 Lakhs), renewable for up to four years. A 95 to 99.9% average pays CAD 4,000 per year (INR 2.74 Lakhs). A 90 to 94.9% average pays CAD 2,000 per year (INR 1.37 Lakhs).
The lower bands still contribute. An 85 to 89.9% average pays CAD 1,000 per year (INR 68,420). An 80 to 84.9% average pays CAD 500 per year (INR 34,210). CBSE and ISC percentages map directly to these bands after UNB’s admission review.
Reddit Insight: Average international award at UNB Fredericton was CAD 4,100 (INR 2.81 Lakhs) in 2021 to 2022 per the official Money Matters portal. CBSE 95%+ applicants typically clear the CAD 4,000 Renewable tier. They also qualify for Lady Vi Aitken consideration. Combined year-one value hits CAD 14,000 (INR 9.58 Lakhs).
Check the UNB admissions page for the entrance-average calculation UNB uses on Indian boards.
University of New Brunswick Scholarships for PG / Master’s Students
Indian Master’s applicants qualify for the PG Recruitment Funding Program at University of New Brunswick. The program bundles 3 named awards plus a minimum research stipend of CAD 23,500 per year (INR 16.08 Lakhs).
| Award | Value (CAD) | Value (INR) | Eligibility for Indians | Deadline |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Masters Open Award | Fellowship top-up; amount varies | Case by case | Incoming research thesis Master’s; merit-based | Round 1: January 26, 2026; Round 2: March 16, 2026 |
| Masters International Differential Tuition Scholarship | Covers the international vs domestic gap | Reduces PG fees by roughly INR 6 Lakhs/year | International research Master’s students | Round 1: January 26, 2026; Round 2: March 16, 2026 |
| ResearchNB Masters Merit Award | Value varies | Case by case | Research thesis Master’s; New Brunswick research priority areas | Round 1: January 26, 2026; Round 2: March 16, 2026 |
| Accelerated Masters Funding Program | $8,000 (Summer 2027) | INR 5.47 Lakhs | UNB UG alumni with an established faculty relationship | Rolling; Summer 2027 applications open |
| UNB UG Alumni International Graduate Subsidy | International tuition reduced to domestic rate | Saves roughly INR 6 to 7 Lakhs/year | International alumni of UNB UG enrolling in PG | Applies to 2026/2027, 2027/2028, 2028/2029 cycles |
| Minimum research stipend (thesis) | $23,500 per year | INR 16.08 Lakhs/year | All thesis Master’s students | Confirmed at admission |
The Round 1 January 26, 2026 deadline carries a decisive advantage. Applicants in that pool see award notices before Round 2 opens. Round 2 pulls from remaining funds after the January awards commit.
Reddit Insight: Indian PG applicants report the Accelerated Masters CAD 8,000 (INR 5.47 Lakhs) award needs two things. First: prior UNB UG. Second: a faculty sponsor locked before you apply. Cold applications without a supervisor rarely convert.
Weigh your Round 1 file against likely stipend and tuition subsidy before you commit.
India-Specific Scholarships at University of New Brunswick
University of New Brunswick does not run a country-restricted India-only award. Instead, 5 pathways deliver strong India-facing value, ranging from IB-specific top-ups to alumni PG tuition parity.
| Pathway | Value | How Indian applicants access it |
|---|---|---|
| Schulich Leader nomination via Indian schools | $100,000 to $120,000 (INR 68.42 to 82.10 Lakhs) | Indian CBSE, ICSE, or IB schools partnered with the Schulich Foundation; only the school can nominate |
| IB Entrance Scholarship | $5,000 per year (INR 3.42 Lakhs) | Top-ranked incoming IB Diploma international student; Indian IB graduates compete on academic score alone |
| Lady Vi Aitken Scholarship | $10,000 per year for 4 years (INR 6.84 Lakhs/year) | Top international UG applicant across all origins including India |
| Renewable Program (95%+ average) | $4,000 to $5,000 per year (INR 2.74 to 3.42 Lakhs) | Achievable for CBSE 95%+, ISC 90%+, or IB 40 out of 45 |
| Alumni Master’s tuition parity | International tuition reduced to domestic rate | Indian students who complete UG at UNB pay roughly CAD 8,000 instead of CAD 18,000 per PG year |
Indian applicants typically build a stack rather than chase one big award. A realistic 4-year stack for a 95%+ CBSE Engineering applicant at University of New Brunswick:
The Schulich Leader route is narrow but high value. Only your school nominates you, and only one nomination per school per year is allowed under Schulich Foundation rules.
University of New Brunswick PhD Scholarships
University of New Brunswick funds Indian PhD entrants through 4 recruitment awards and an international subsidy. The subsidy drops tuition to domestic rates for years 1 to 3. Minimum PhD stipends run CAD 25,000 per year (INR 17.10 Lakhs).
| Award | Value (CAD) | Value (INR) | Eligibility for Indians | Deadline |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| President’s Doctoral Tuition Awards | Full domestic-rate tuition | Covers roughly INR 6 Lakhs/year in fees | Incoming domestic and international PhD students | Round 1: January 26, 2026; Round 2: March 16, 2026 |
| Lewis Doctoral Fellowship | Fellowship top-up; value varies | Case by case | Incoming PhD; merit-based selection | Round 1: January 26, 2026; Round 2: March 16, 2026 |
| SGS Doctoral Recruitment Awards | Recruitment top-up; value varies | Case by case | Merit plus program fit; School of Graduate Studies award | Round 1: January 26, 2026; Round 2: March 16, 2026 |
| ResearchNB Doctoral Merit Awards | Research grant; value varies | Case by case | Research aligned with New Brunswick priority sectors | Round 1: January 26, 2026; Round 2: March 16, 2026 |
| UNB PhD International Subsidy | International tuition reduced to domestic rate | Cuts per-year fees by roughly CAD 10,000 (INR 6.84 Lakhs) | Full-time international PhD; first 3 years automatic | Automatic on admission |
| Minimum PhD stipend (thesis) | $25,000 per year | INR 17.10 Lakhs/year | All thesis PhD students | Confirmed at admission |
A funded PhD offer at UNB typically bundles the tuition subsidy, a recruitment award, and stipend from your supervisor’s grant. Combined value clears CAD 40,000 per year (INR 27.37 Lakhs) for competitive Indian entrants.
The Round 1 January 26 deadline is the priority window. Applicants who submit a complete file (transcripts, GRE where required, supervisor commitment letter) by that date see the strongest offers.
External Government Scholarships for University of New Brunswick Students
Indian students at University of New Brunswick can stack 4 external Canadian government scholarships worth up to CAD 50,000 per year (INR 34.21 Lakhs). These sit on top of UNB’s own funding, not in place of it.
| Scholarship | Value (CAD) | Value (INR) | Eligibility for Indians | Deadline |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarship | $50,000 per year for 3 years | INR 34.21 Lakhs/year | Incoming PhD; academic excellence, research, leadership | Tentative November 5, 2026 (via UNB institutional deadline) |
| Banting Postdoctoral Fellowship | $70,000 per year for 2 years | INR 47.89 Lakhs/year | Postdoctoral researchers within 3 years of PhD | Tentative September 15, 2026 |
| Mitacs Globalink Research Award | $6,000 travel and research grant | INR 4.11 Lakhs | UG, Master’s, or PhD on approved India-Canada mobility project | Rolling; tentative March 15, 2026 for Fall cycle |
| Shastri Indo-Canadian Institute Fellowships | Up to $15,000 | Up to INR 10.26 Lakhs | Indian students on qualifying India-Canada academic exchange | Tentative January 15, 2027 |
Vanier CGS is the marquee PhD award for Indian applicants. UNB nominates candidates internally before the national November deadline, so your supervisor must flag your file by early September for institutional selection.
Banting requires an active affiliation with a Canadian university at the time of application. UNB’s Office of Research Services accepts Banting drafts on a rolling basis for feedback before the September lock.
Reddit Insight: Indian PhD entrants who won Vanier at UNB report a two-stage process. Round 1 is supervisor endorsement in July or August. Round 2 is the University-level review by October. Missing the July supervisor sign-off means no Vanier that year, regardless of merit.

University of New Brunswick Scholarships: Frequently Asked Questions
Ques. What is the maximum scholarship stack an Indian UG applicant can build at University of New Brunswick?
Ans. A CBSE 100% Engineering applicant can stack the Schulich Leader Scholarship at CAD 120,000 total (INR 82.10 Lakhs). Add the Renewable Program top tier of CAD 5,000 per year (INR 3.42 Lakhs). Combined value crosses CAD 140,000 (INR 95.79 Lakhs) across 4 years. Realistic stacks for 95%+ CBSE applicants sit at CAD 40,000 to 60,000 total. That maps to INR 27.37 to 41.05 Lakhs via Lady Vi Aitken plus a Renewable band.
Ques. When should Indian applicants submit UNB scholarship applications and when are decisions announced?
Ans. UG entrance scholarship files close March 1, 2026 via the UNB Money Matters portal. Award decisions land by April 30, 2026. PG and PhD applicants target the Round 1 January 26, 2026 deadline for the strongest offers. Round 2 closes March 16, 2026 and pulls from residual funds.
Ques. Do Indian applicants need a separate scholarship application, or does UNB auto-consider on admission?
Ans. The Renewable Program and Lady Vi Aitken auto-consider once you submit your admission application. Named entrance awards like Ted Rogers Legacy and Dr. Salem Masry need a separate scholarship application inside your UNB applicant account after admission. Schulich Leaders is a nomination-only track through your school; you cannot self-apply.
Ques. What CBSE, ISC, or IB score do I need for the top UNB Renewable Program tier?
Ans. The top CAD 5,000 (INR 3.42 Lakhs) band requires a 100% admission average. UNB converts CBSE, ISC, and IB scores using its own scale. A CBSE aggregate of 95%+ typically maps to the 95 to 99.9% band worth CAD 4,000 (INR 2.74 Lakhs). An IB score of 40 out of 45 lands in the same band.
Ques. What does the Lady Vi Aitken Scholarship cover and how competitive is it for Indian applicants?
Ans. The Lady Vi Aitken pays CAD 10,000 per year (INR 6.84 Lakhs) for 4 years, totaling CAD 40,000 (INR 27.37 Lakhs). It is awarded to the top international UG applicant of the incoming cycle. Selection is single-slot across all origins, so Indian applicants compete against every other international file. A 95%+ CBSE aggregate with strong extracurriculars is the realistic floor.
Ques. Does the UNB PhD International Subsidy fully cover living costs in Fredericton?
Ans. The subsidy covers tuition, not living costs. Fredericton monthly living runs CAD 1,000 to 2,000 (INR 68,420 to INR 1.37 Lakhs). Add the minimum PhD stipend of CAD 25,000 per year (INR 17.10 Lakhs). A funded PhD then covers rent, food, and utilities with a modest surplus.

- Tuition fee and concentration in Analytics ( STEM background)
- Staff, faculty, Infrastructure and Recreation and other facilities. My professors were great and understanding and I was taught by a mix of both experienced and new professors who had great papers they had published in the field of technology and Finance
Dislikes
- It was a great experience. The issue you are likely to face is that the city, Fredericton is relatively small and hence the amount of opportunities are less as compared to a bigger city.
Scholarship
$5000 for GMAT score
It was a great experience. Especially the overall academics and support from the staff/faculty. The MBA offered here is one of the least expensive ones in the whole of Canada however the ROI entirely depends on the student on how they get the best value out of it.
Likes
- I loved the university's collectiveness, the student body. They had amazing orientation. All the people are so helpful and kind. I haven’t met one person who is too mean.
- I love that the professors most of them teach so well. And they have office hours outside of class that they are quite serious about. It’s really fun to have a chance to have one to one conversation whenever you want. You have free food banks.
- The campus amenities are all good, they have clean washrooms, many washrooms. A huge library building and many other study areas. There are math learning center, writing help center and many other help. There is free tuition of all science subjects.
Dislikes
- The university is set on a hill meaning that you have to walk up and down the hill multiple times. God! That’s a whole workout every time.
- The university tells you to apply for scholarship but doesn’t necessarily say what all qualifications will get you that scholarship except for that you need 3.7 gpa.
Scholarship
At first, I wasn't sure about how to apply so I only applied for an entrance scholarship and because my 12-grade grades weren't that good I got 1000$ only. However, for the next years, it depends on your GPA. You have to be on the dean's list to apply. This means a 3.7 or above GPA
The admission process is pretty chill. They don't make a drama about it, unlike some other universities. You need your transcripts and a letter. They reply very quickly as well. There wasn't any exam to be taken for the university. I took ielts for the visa process. I didn't use anything for IELTS. Studied by myself. I chose this university because it tells you about its scholarships. And that made me hopeful that maybe I could get some. And I loved the place Fredericton and loved the aesthetic of the university itself.
Scholarship
I am fully funded through a scholarship with the university. I received a nomination from my supervisor and was selected to receive the funding.
The university had an Institute of biomedical engineering. The institute specialized in prosthesis research, which was what I sought to get into. I also sought to work with the professors associated with the institute to supervise my research.
It's the best one in the city and affordable. I didn't want to have to move out of my home town because I don't have the money for that. I also had several friends who attended and graduated and I went to them for their opinions before applying. They all talked of the teachers they enjoyed and told me the pros and cons, helping me decide.
