Student Awards
NSCC’s Student Awards program offers a broad range of scholarships, awards and bursaries to help increase access to education, celebrate academic success and recognize leadership and community-mindedness.
The awards program also responds to the growing needs of industries across the province through new government and industry partnerships and donor support. Our awards and support programs are designed to remove barriers to graduation and ultimately, the workforce in ways that are responsive to the student and provincial needs. This year, you’ll find increased award offerings for students pursuing careers in skilled trades and healthcare to help clear the pathway to these in-demand sectors.
