regarding the New Brunswick Youth in Care Scholarship Program (F-0320)
We might be paying your student's tuition
Starting July 2025, we are launching our new pilot program to support the eligible New Brunswick youth who are currently or were formerly in the care of the Minister under Social Development by covering their tuition and mandatory fees.
What does this mean for you?
STEP 1: If we receive an eligible student application enrolled to your post-secondary institution, we will first send you an email asking you to confirm the following:
- That the student in question is enrolled in a qualifying program. (a below-graduate level course or program of study; a first degree, diploma, certificate program.; Masters, PhD, Adult Basic Education and Adult Special Education and graduate level program, class, etc. are not eligible) (?)
- The amount of tuition and mandatory fees for the first AND second term separately to allow us to budget for it and share the information with the government of New Brunswick's student financial services (SFS).
*If you are an institution with rolling admissions, with no separate terms in the study program, SFS is instructing to please take the full tuition amount and mandatory fees for the year and divide it in two payments.
- The date of the last day that a student can withdraw and receive a tuition reimbursement. (The scholarship will be sent AFTER that day.)
We ask you to respond promptly to avoid delays and complications with SFS.
If that student DOES get conditional approval, you will then receive an information email containing all the pertinent details for this scholarship and everybody's role.
STEP 2: We will need an invoice from your institution of the tuition and mandatory fees PER TERM and your instructions on how to send you the payment.
Providing that the student is still in school, the payment will be sent to your institution to be applied directly towards the student's tuition and mandatory fees in the days AFTER the last day of whitdrawal with reimbursement.
*For the institution with rolling admissions, with no separate terms in the study program, please send two invoices with half of the full-tuition amount and mandatory fees for the year on each.
The payments will be sent to your institution to be applied directly towards the student's tuition and mandatory fees at the beginning of the student's program and at the mid-point AFTER the last day of withdrawal with reimbursement if you have one.
*IF, for any reason, a reimbursement must be done: the money shall be sent back to The NBCC Foundation and NOT be given to the student.
STEP 3: Your institution is responsible for providing the student with a T4A.
