The George Semeluk Scholarship

The Federation annually awards a renewable scholarship to a student enrolled in a bachelor's program at a New Brunswick University.
The amount of the scholarship is equal to the enrollment fee at the university where the student enrolls. (maximum of $5500 annually)
The scholarship is renewable as long as the student is enrolled at the university and maintains a B+ average.
The seven university centres (campuses) each nominate two candidates (one female and one male) and a selection committee of the Federation selects the winner.
The selection criteria are academic excellence, financial need and the social circumstances of the candidate.
The name of the scholarship winner is announced at the graduation ceremony of the scholarship winner.
