Cobequid Dog Club Scholarship
The Cobequid Dog Club awards a $400 scholarship to an NS student from NSAC who is admitted to a veterinary college. No application is required.
Harney Estate Scholarships
Renewable $5,000 scholarships are awarded annually to NSAC graduates who are accepted or registered at Macdonald College or the University of Guelph for graduate work in agriculture. These scholarships are granted, based on high academic records, to students who are committed to research excellence. Dr. Patricia Harney, NSAC Diploma Class of 1948 and OAC Professor in Horticultural Sciences, has made generous provision through her estate to support NSAC students who wish to pursue graduate studies in agriculture at McGill University’s Macdonald College or at the University of Guelph. The scholarships from this fund serve to preserve the long-standing links between NSAC, Macdonald College and the University of Guelph. This award is tenable for two years for a Master’s degree program and three years for a Ph.D. program. Renewability will be based on maintaining scholarship standing in the program (will require A- or 80%). While registered at the University of Guelph or Macdonald College the recipient may, with appropriate permission, pursue research at NSAC. Scholarship funds will be disbursed to the recipient through the institution in which the student is registered. See the NSAC Awards Office for further application information. Application deadline is March 31.
Dr. Allan and Barbara MacKay Scholarship
The $1,000 Dr. Allan and Barbara MacKay scholarship is awarded annually to a student from NSAC admitted to the Atlantic Veterinary College. In recognition of his long association with the practice of veterinary medicine in NS and with NSAC, Dr. J. Allan MacKay, NSAC class of 1943, has established this scholarship, which will be presented at NSAC’s Scholarship Banquet. No application is required.
