Norma R. Smith Memorial Scholarship

The Norma R. Smith Memorial Scholarship was established in 2022 in memory of Norma R. Smith, an amazing woman whose heart embraced not only her children, but all those within her sphere of influence. This scholarship provides a $2,000 award to a graduating senior of African-Nova Scotian descent, to be used at a post-secondary institution of their choice. The scholarship supports African-Nova Scotian students as they transition from Grade 12 to recognized Canadian post-secondary education colleges or universities. Applicants must have been accepted by a recognized Canadian post-secondary institution and plan to attend in the fall of the same year. Scholarships are typically awarded annually, though the frequency may vary based on income levels and the discretion of the Community Foundation of Nova Scotia.
