I didn’t get a Nova Scotia Bursary but I think I qualify—what should I do?🔹 Why didn’t I get the NS bursary even though I’m from Nova Scotia? 🔹 Can I appeal if I didn’t get the Nova Scotia Bursary but should have?

If you believe you’re eligible for the Nova Scotia Bursary but didn’t receive it, don’t worry—there’s a process to follow to get it sorted out.


✅ What to Do

  1. Contact Student Accounts
