Partnering on equity
“Through dedicated financial aid to equity-deserving students and programs tailored to their unique cultural needs, NSCC’s Office of Human Rights Equity and Inclusion (HREI) proudly collaborates with NSCC Foundation and Alumni Relations to develop equitable and culturally relevant supports at the College. Together, with human rights, equity, inclusion, accessibility and anti-racism centred as one of their strategic priorities, we will continue to build a community centred on equity and remove barriers to post-secondary education.”
The NSCC Human Rights, Equity and Inclusion Team
NSCC is an access College where we strive to remove barriers to education and create an environment that’s welcoming and equitable. We believe in a community-partnered approach, working directly with equity-deserving communities to provide culturally responsive and inclusive programming and supports.
You’ve played an essential role in helping campus communities thrive in creating a student experience and environment that provides equitable support to all students. Your support is building representation, improving access to learning and nurturing a culture of community wellness.
Because of you, NSCC offers supports such as:
- Elders on Campus and financial aid for Indigenous students through the Indigenous Student Support Program;
- Student awards and cost of living bursaries dedicated to Black and African Nova Scotian students;
- Student awards and programs for entrepreneurship and career readiness that are tailored or give preference to equity-deserving students, including Entrepreneur-in-the-Making, Student Works and Irving Pathways to Shipbuilding.
“It is an honour to be chosen to receive an Archy Beals Legacy Award. It has been challenging to keep up with living and medical expenses. With the financial support of this award, I can stop worrying about being able to pay my bills and expenses so I can focus on my studies and community work. I greatly appreciate being selected as a recipient for this award and will continue to do my best to serve my community. Thank you also to Archy Beals, for all the work he has done for African Nova Scotians.”
