The 鲍鱼tv Post-Care Tuition Waiver is strongly aligned with 鲍鱼tv University鈥檚 established accessibility, equity, diversity and inclusion goals to broaden and expand programming for historically and currently marginalized groups (e.g.聽Indigenous/Aboriginal students, especially Mi鈥檏maq; African/Black Students, especially African Nova Scotian; those with (dis)abilities 鈥� visible and invisible; Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer); as these groups聽are over-represented in the Canadian child welfare system.
