CANADAHALIFAX news New SMU scholarship to support aspiring writers of African descent by admin 26 أغسطس، 2021 written by admin 26 أغسطس، 2021 57 The Edna and Velma Thomas Kane Award is named for Floyd Kane’s mother and aunt HalifaxToday Staff 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. 104 comments 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail admin previous post Halifax Urban Folk Festival brings music back to Halifax next post Halifax tenants facing rising living costs worry about looming end to rent control You may also like Wind and rainfall warnings issued for parts of... 23 نوفمبر، 2024 Pictou County District RCMP investigating serious crash involving... 23 نوفمبر، 2024 أوتاوا تنفي امتلاكها أدلة تربط ناريندرا مودي بأعمال... 23 نوفمبر، 2024 إحياء شهر التراث اللبناني من قِبل القوات المسلحة... 23 نوفمبر، 2024 أونتاريو: تشريع مقبل لحماية القادمين الجدد من الاحتيال... 23 نوفمبر، 2024 New poll shows Houston’s PCs maintaining big lead... 22 نوفمبر، 2024 Cape Breton Police issue emergency alert as they... 22 نوفمبر، 2024 Safety board calls for changes two years after... 22 نوفمبر، 2024 Fuel prices rise across Nova Scotia 22 نوفمبر، 2024 Halifax International Security Forum begins 16th year amid... 22 نوفمبر، 2024 104 comments what is a good sat essay score 13 نوفمبر، 2021 - 10:17 ص You have amazing stuff here. http://multiessay.com Reply keto diet meal delivery 18 نوفمبر، 2021 - 7:11 م Unbelievably individual pleasant website.
