Community Foundation of Nova Scotia Scholarships Portal

Nova Scotia students and residents apply directly to dozens of CFNS-administered scholarship and bursary funds covering arts, Indigenous education, health, Gaelic heritage, sports, and regional themes. Most funds open January 1 with deadlines from March through July depending on the award. Amounts typically range from $500 to $10,000 or more. Each fund has its own eligibility page and application form (several nomination-only funds are marked with an asterisk and excluded from open application). CFNS has administered provincial donor scholarships since the 1990s.
