Scotiabank Entrepreneur-in-the-Making Program

Scotiabank Entrepreneur-in-the-Making Program

Funding for your small business

To help kick-start or expand businesses across Nova Scotia, up to $3000 in funding is available to entrepreneurial NSCC students and recent alumni (Class of 2019 to present) from equity-deserving groups* through the Scotiabank Entrepreneur in the Making Program (EITM). The 2024 recipients have been selected, and applications will open again in 2025.

EITM is available at all 14 NSCC campuses, thanks to the generous support of Scotiabank. There are also up to $28,000 in granting opportunities available through campus specific programs and partners, thanks to Truro private donors and Cube Sandbox.

Recipients also receive mentorship and guidance from NSCC, Scotiabank and the local business community.
