Lord Beaverbrook established these scholarships in 1920 to provide
assistance and opportunity for some of the province’s best students.
Building on the great traditions Lord Beaverbrook established, UNB assumed
responsibility for funding the Lord Beaverbrook entrance scholarships and
the Lord Beaverbrook scholarships in law after his death in 1964. Since
1920, over 800 of the province’s best high school students have benefited
from the Beaverbrook entrance scholarships.

The university and its donors are pleased to provide financial support to
students through the granting of scholarships. For information about
