Hugh and Linda Brown Educational Fund Scholarship

The Hugh and Linda Brown Educational Fund supports three scholarships for students at Amherst Regional High School in Nova Scotia to help provide them with post-secondary education opportunities. Created in 2014, the Hugh and Linda Brown Educational Foundation (BEF) has a mission to assist financially disadvantaged individuals in Atlantic Canada, especially those in Nova Scotia, obtain an education and employment, thereby enhancing their life outcomes and society in general. Hugh and Linda Brown both grew up in Amherst and strongly believe that post-secondary education can create a world of opportunities for youth. Hugh attended Dalhousie University through the Regular Officer Training Program (ROTP) and became the first person to graduate from Dalhousie's MBA program in 1969. The scholarship is designed to support students from Amherst Regional High School who face financial barriers to accessing higher education.
