The Province is supporting Nova Scotian students with the cost of post-secondary education by providing a one-time, needs-based grant and investing to reduce the cost of textbooks. Almost 12,000 students at Nova Scotia universities, Nova Scotia Community College or a private career college are eligible for a grant of $1,350 that does not have to be repaid. “I know from talking to students that affordability is a key issue for them,” said Brian Wong, Minister of Advanced Education. “I have also heard from students that the cost of books can be a real challenge, and I’m proud to take action on solutions that will make a real difference.”
