Lord Beaverbrook established the 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, more than 800 of the province's best high school students have benefitted from the Beaverbrook entrance scholarships.

The university and its donors provide financial support to students through the granting of scholarships.
