The Nova Scotia Talent Trust is a registered charity that provides scholarships to Nova Scotians who demonstrate exceptional potential and commitment to become established artists in their chosen fields. Applicants of any age may apply but support is given to those who are not yet established in their fields and who are undertaking programs of study which will advance their artistic development and who are pursuing career paths that can lead them to become established artists. The recipients have used these funds to enrich their artistic experience studying at universities, arts training programs, festivals, and in private instruction at recognized institutions. Since 1944, the Nova Scotia Talent Trust has helped many Nova Scotian artists reach their artistic goals. It was observed on the occasion of the Talent Trust's 20th anniversary in the Journal of Education that "the one thing often lacking in gifted artists is neither talent nor dedication - it's money."
