Each year in June, the EPIC Board of Directors is pleased to award deserving graduating students a scholarship or award of $500 each.
EPIC Scholarships have been awarded since 1997. These are given to a graduating high school student from Eskasoni, Membertou and the African-Nova Scotia community to:
further the education of a graduating student distinguished by high school staff for commitment to community or perseverance in overcoming obstacles to advancement
