Support for the New Evangelization

The Archdiocese of Halifax-Yarmouth is excited to announce the availability of scholarships for students actively engaged in their parish community. These scholarships aim to support students who demonstrate a strong commitment to Church renewal, leadership, and academic excellence. These scholarships are made possible by the Patrick Power Foundation, the Archbishop James Hayes Trust, the John T. Joy Trust, the A.M. Hynes Fund, and the Father Caissie Fund.

Successful applicants will receive an award minimum of $1,000 to assist with the cost of their post-secondary education. We encourage eligible students to apply and take advantage of this opportunity to further their education while continuing their dedication to the Church.
