Women for Women Bursary
Established in June 2020, this endowed bursary fund – Women for Women – was created by a group of nine women who met at StFX and formed a deep friendship that has lasted over two decades. It was at StFX and the Coady International Institute where this circle of female friends gained a deeper understanding of global inequities. Through their unique journeys since their graduation from StFX in the late 90’s, each of the women has found ways to challenge the status quo and use their education and privilege in the fight for social justice, women’s rights, and anti-racism. They understand that access to secondary education - especially for women - is fundamental to positive societal change: personally, familially, communally, and globally. It is their hope that they can help foster such growth through the creation of this bursary. Recognizing the intersectionality of gender and race, this endowment provides a renewable bursary to a first year student who has graduated from a high school in Nova Scotia who identifies as a woman and as either African Nova Scotian or from Mi’kmaw or Wulastoyik communities. Acceptance to StFX, and maintaining program requirements, are the sole academic requirements. Applicants will be asked to share their financial need and their interest in making a positive difference in their community. 
Award Value: up to $2000
