Applications and supporting materials must be sent to the Scholarship Committee and postmarked no later than midnight on May 30th, 2026. Subject to the receipt of final transcripts, incomplete applications will not be evaluated.  All applications received by the AHT are considered private and confidential and will be reviewed only by AHT employees and Scholarship Committee.

Applicants will be evaluated only on the information submitted. Therefore, applicants should endeavor to answer all questions as completely as possible in the scholarship application, and address all of the criteria outlined above. Applicants must complete the scholarship application and provide the following documentation supporting their eligibility:

complete the scholarship application
copy of birth certificate or other documentation supporting their Canadian citizenship;
documentation supporting their former residency in or direct lineage to the community of Africville (i.e. parent, grandparent, great-grandparent);
names and contact information for three arm’s length references;
proof of acceptance or enrollment in a Canadian accredited post-secondary institution and the criteria that you must meet to earn a diploma/degree in your program of study;
personal statement addressing the topics outlined in Section C of the application; and
official transcripts for the current or most recently completed field of study, as well as previous secondary and post-secondary studies. Transcripts must contain the applicant’s name, school, name of courses taken, grades earned for each course, and the period in which each course was taken.  For students who cannot provide final transcripts until the completion of their current year of studies, they must provide an official transcript with their application and an updated transcript immediately upon completion of the current year of studies.
