Building Futures for Youth Scholarship
One of the barriers many students face when considering post-secondary education is the cost, including those considering studying towards a career in construction. The Construction Association of Nova Scotia’s (CANS) Building Futures for Youth Award was established in support of CANS’ 150th Anniversary Industry Campaign. This campaign was launched in recognition of the value of education and the role of the construction sector in the growth of Nova Scotia’s economy. The award is offered to those pursuing a career in construction through programs at the Nova Scotia Community College.
