About This Opportunity
The Digital Nova Scotia TechQuity Award is an innovative educational scholarship designed to support African Nova Scotian students pursuing undergraduate studies in the technology sector. This landmark initiative is made possible through a $100,000 endowment fund and underscores Digital Nova Scotia's commitment to fostering diversity and inclusion in the digital industry. The award aims to address the barriers faced by students from underserved communities and those underrepresented in the tech sector by offering meaningful financial assistance. By investing in the education of underrepresented students, DNS is paving the way for a brighter, more equitable future in technology. The award will provide financial support to students from African Nova Scotian communities who are planning to study in fields such as computer science, information technology, digital innovation and cybersecurity. At least $5,000 will be awarded annually to a deserving student, with recipients selected by the Digital Nova Scotia Educational Award Committee along with designated DNS staff and volunteers.
