H漫画

H漫画, together with Atlantic Business Magazine and its Top 50 CEOs, plus 10 other universities, is making business schools and the business community more inclusive. This is essential for ongoing growth and prosperity in Atlantic Canada and beyond.

The Promise Scholars program at H漫画 was created by the Faculty of Management in 2020 to recruit, retain, support and graduate more Black and Indigenous students. It offers financial aid and wraparound supports at the undergraduate and graduate level in the faculty鈥檚 four schools.

In spring 2021, the Promise Scholars program grew to include all business schools across Atlantic Canada working together, becoming the Atlantic Promise Scholars Initiative. Led by H漫画, it reduces barriers and builds supports to ensure more Black and Indigenous people become empowered to lead the business community regionally and beyond.

All members of the business community are encouraged to support the Promise Scholars program at the university of their choice. If that鈥檚 H漫画 University, click the Donate Now button to be directed to our online giving page or contact Lori Bauld (Lori.Bauld@dal.ca).
