New SMU scholarship to support aspiring writers of African descent

The Edna and Velma Thomas Kane Award is named for Floyd Kane’s mother and aunt

NEWS RELEASE
SAINT MARY’S UNIVERSITY

Saint Mary’s University is launching an innovative new scholarship to support aspiring writers of African descent upon graduation. 

“I know the challenges and barriers that face aspiring writers of African Nova Scotian descent because that’s my lived experience,” says Floyd Kane BA’92, the person behind this generous philanthropic gift. “This award is named in honour of my mother and aunt—two women who supported my dreams from the beginning.  I am proud to have the opportunity to pass along that support to the next generation of African Nova Scotian writers via an award that bears their name.”

The Edna and Velma Thomas Kane Award has three main goals. To mitigate the burden of financial debt and insecurity for undergraduate students of African Nova Scotian descent in the Faculty of Arts. To support them in pursuing further post-secondary studies or training such as internships, apprenticeships, self-directed projects. And lastly, to advance their aspirations for careers in writing. The award recipient will receive $30,000 in support of these goals.

“Saint Mary’s recognizes the importance of diverse voices and perspectives in all fields of research and study, including the creative arts and industries,” says Saint Mary’s University President Dr. Robert Summerby-Murray. “Writing and storytelling are essential tools for sharing our province’s unique histories and experiences. This award will help us support African Nova Scotian students by reducing financial barriers as they embark on their next steps toward careers in writing. We are committed to creating possibilities for our students at Saint Mary’s, celebrating their creative talents, and working together toward a world without limits.”

A member of the Saint Mary’s University Board of Governors, Kane is a successful writer, filmmaker and television producer with numerous projects shot internationally – and in Nova Scotia, such as the feature film Across the Line (2014) and current hit TV series Diggstown, airing nationally on CBC-TV and soon in the U.S. on the FOX network. Kane grew up in East Preston and currently resides in Toronto. He was inspired to establish the award as a result of seeing talented fellow African Nova Scotian writers face challenges in pursuing careers in the arts and culture sectors due to barriers such as limited access to financial support.

The Edna and Velma Thomas Kane Award will be available for applications this academic year.
