International Students Scholarship Program

As we cast our gaze toward the future and recognize the growing need for highly educated individuals to bolster our workforce, international students emerge as key contributors to strengthening New Brunswick’s labor pool. Nevertheless, we are acutely aware that international students often face limited eligibility when it comes to applying for scholarships and are not entitled to participate in summer employment programs.

 

In collaboration with UNI Financial Cooperation, another stalwart organization dedicated to enhancing the well-being of New Brunswick, NBMC is proud to introduce a groundbreaking scholarship program designed to bridge this gap faced by international students. This partnership promises to yield a substantial and positive impact on the lives of international students who choose New Brunswick as their destination for higher education.

 

The scholarship will provide financial support to recipients, enabling them to pursue their studies and realize their dreams. We firmly believe that this initiative will not only assist these students but also attract more international scholars to New Brunswick, enriching the cultural diversity of our province and fortifying our economy.
