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.
