The Education Incentive Program for African Nova Scotian Students was established in 1965 by the Government of Nova Scotia
to assist and encourage African Nova Scotian students to continue their education in high schools, community colleges, technical
institutes, universities, and other approved post-secondary institutions. This program has evolved into the Scholarship Program
for African Nova Scotian Students.
Provide financial assistance to African Nova Scotian (Black) students so they will be encouraged to continue their post-secondary
education immediately following completion of grade 12 in the Nova Scotia school system, develop leadership potential, and meet
educational career and professional objectives.
