In response to the Black Learners Advisory Committee (BLAC) Report on Education, a number of scholarships are available to African Nova Scotian (Black) students who have displayed a commitment to academic excellence and community involvement. The BLAC Report on Education highlights glaring educational, economic, and social inequities between African Nova Scotians and other Nova Scotians. The report also reveals that the lack of educational opportunities has contributed significantly to the disparity in educational and professional attainment of African Nova Scotians, and consequently, to their social and economic marginalization.
