Make an impact by removing barriers to education
Working toward a more diverse creative economy
Creativity flourishes in culturally safe environments where diversity of thought and lived experience is recognized, encouraged and celebrated. Together we can work toward a more diverse representation within Nova Scotia’s creative economy through access to education. By encouraging and supporting students from communities under-represented in the sector, we can have a lasting impact.
The Spark Creativity Student Bursary Fund
The Spark Creativity Student Bursary Fund, established by NSCC’s School of Business and Creative Industries, is designed to make a difference. 100% of donations made will fund bursaries for students from communities under-represented in the creative sector, helping them to pursue Creative Industries programming at NSCC. Our students have a direct line to industry with 83% of graduates finding employment in their area of study.
Student and Alumni Showcase
This event highlights the talents of students and alumni from our Creative Industries programs and celebrates the vibrant future of Nova Scotia's creative economy. Stay tuned for more details on Spark Creativity 2026.
