Dal receives $1.05M to remove barriers to engineering education for equity-deserving groups

Dalhousie University’s Faculty of Engineering has received $1.05M from the Johnson Scholarship Foundation to increase access to engineering education for equity-deserving groups. This funding will bolster the faculty’s Inclusive Pathways to Engineering Careers Program, which provides scholarships and wraparound supports for Indigenous and African Nova Scotian and Black students at Dal. “This donation is more than just financial support—it is an investment in the future of our students and the strength of our community,” said Dal President Dr Kim Brooks. “It reaffirms our shared belief that education should be accessible to all.”
