Curious what the Foundation does?  Read This

The NSS Foundation has a vision – of Northern grads reaching back to Northern, to inspire students and be inspired – a wonderful transmission of ideas and experiences that create runways to possibility. 

In 2021, we connected Northern art students with successful alumni in the art and design world. Alum took the time to inspire students, share professional insights and deepen student understanding of pathways to success. Armed with rave reviews from students and teachers, we promise more of this in more subject areas in the year ahead !
The Foundation’s Instagram feed is full of alumni spotlights, inspiring interviews and NSS nostalgia sure to give you the warm-and-fuzzies. A recent highlight for us at the Foundation: an alum who has been following our Insta feed, having learned about the 2021 passing of Northern’s much loved art teacher “Mister Z” (Mr. Zawerbny), felt immediately moved to reach out to us and set up a scholarship in Mister Z’s name – $5000 will now go, every year, to a graduate with illustration and design promise. This is the power of staying connected.
Overseeing Foundation scholarships and awarding Foundation grants to NSS students is the core of our work. We were especially proud to be at the 2022 graduating class' commencement (at Convocation Hall) to give out scholarships in front of a full house. Discover all 47 scholarships and awards
