Promise Scholars at Dalhousie
In May 2021, Dalhousie partnered on a new, expanded Atlantic Promise Scholars Initiative with Atlantic Business Magazine and universities across Atlantic Canada. Read more in Atlantic Business Magazine.
Funding and supporting Black and Indigenous students in Dalhousie Faculty of Management's programs
Management education plays a vital role in taking great ideas from inspiration to realization. Our students become their generation’s managers and leaders—at home and around the world. They make remarkable contributions in large businesses, in small not-for-profits, in their communities and in government.
Our Promise to support Black and Indigenous students
Through the Promise Scholars program, we will support and nurture students with financial resources, work and internship experiences, and dedicated and personalized academic and career mentoring.
We believe that our collective futures require us to attend to the ways we have excluded and prevented racialized students, and especially Black and Indigenous students, from fulfilling their promise.

Thank you to our donors
We extend our sincere gratitude to the generous donors whose support makes the Promise Scholars Program possible. In addition to Dalhousie’s Promise Scholarship Annual Fund awards, several donors were inspired to establish their own awards further enriching the opportunities available to Black & Indigenous students in the Faculty of Management.
