About the award
The Spark Creativity Bursaries in memory of Hughie Langin are supported by Hughie’s family, honouring his love for the arts- especially his love for Halifax’s music scene.

The Spark Creativity Bursary fund seeks to support students from communities underrepresented in Nova Scotia’s creative sector as they pursue Creative Industries programming at NSCC. Creativity flourishes in culturally safe environments where diversity of thought and lived experience is recognized, encouraged and celebrated. NSCC’s School of Business and Creative Industries, along with donors to this fund, want Nova Scotia’s creative economy to have a more diverse representation and are helping to reduce barriers to education through these bursaries.
