Helping our students fund their education is important to us. McKenzie College offers several scholarships annually to students who have been accepted into one of our programs. Students may apply for any of our scholarships for the following year if they decide to further their education at McKenzie College, even if they were awarded a scholarship in the previous year.
The admissions committee assess all scholarship applications with focus on portfolio/resume strength, past academic achievement, financial need and the submitted essay to select an appropriate candidate for each scholarship.
Please note that all awarded scholarship funds are applied to tuition fees only. Before applying for one of McKenzie College scholarships, you must be accepted into one of our programs.
John Thompson was a childhood and lifelong friend of McKenzie College President Dale Ritchie. John was artistic and creative but chose to take a Science Degree at UNB. Upon graduation, he worked for the Department of Natural Resources but did not enjoy the work. He soon completed another four years of study at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in Graphic Design, and became an Art Director for a prominent Halifax Ad Agency. John was a delight to be with and found humour in everything around him. The scholarship in his memory is dedicated to help McKenzie College students who have previously started their career or education in another field of study.
