We’re proud to support students’ educational endeavours, no matter where that path may lead them.

We’re proud to support students at every stage of their educational endeavours – particularly in the pursuit of post-secondary education. We offer the following scholarships to high school students throughout Atlantic Canada.

Primrose Scholarship at the University of New Brunswick Saint John

The Primrose Scholarship is an undergraduate entrance award that was established in 1999.  It is awarded annually to an undergraduate from the University of New Brunswick Saint John campus.  This $5,000 scholarship recognizes academic achievement, community involvement and athletic leadership.

Applicants are required to send a cover letter requesting consideration, a resume, their latest high school transcript and a 500-word essay on a topic chosen by the University. For more information, visit http://www.unbsj.ca/primrose/

Irving Oil Scholarships at Memorial University of Newfoundland (MUN)

Our donation of $250,000 to Memorial University of Newfoundland (MUN) created the largest endowed scholarships fund at the university.  Full-time students entering any field of study with high academic standing are eligible.

Two $6,000 scholarships are awarded annually to the general first-year student body and one or more $3,000 scholarships are awarded to dependents of Irving Oil employees. All candidates must be residents of Newfoundland & Labrador. For more information, visit MUN’s Scholarships and Awards Office at http://www.mun.ca/scholarships/home/.

Irving Oil Fueling the Future Scholarship

Our “Fueling the Future” Scholarship was created in 2007 to further support our partnership with St. John the Baptist-King Edward School, and the accomplishments of the school’s alumni.  

Each year, two scholarships valued at $28,000 each (up to $7,000 each year for 4 years) are awarded to SJBKE Alumni graduating from St. Malachy’s High School and Saint John High School.  Recipients must demonstrate a commitment to school citizenship, academics, and most importantly, teamwork.
