For three consecutive years, Miriam College has proudly received grants from the ASEAN Scholarships and Educational Exchanges for Development (SEED) program, funded by the Canadian government. This year, students from the School of Business, Entrepreneurship, and Accountancy (SBEA) have been selected for this esteemed opportunity, highlighting their academic excellence and leadership potential. Miriam College’s participation underscores its commitment to academic excellence and international cooperation, enriching educational experiences and fostering global perspectives among its students.Â
The Canada-ASEAN SEED program aims to reduce poverty in ASEAN's developing countries and contribute to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Through scholarships and educational exchanges, the program supports the achievement of all Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and strengthens people-to-people connections between Canada and the Indo-Pacific region. SEED scholarships are facilitated through institutional collaborations and student exchange agreements between Canadian post-secondary institutions and their ASEAN counterparts.
 In the School Year (SY) 22-23, two students received grants through Nova Scotia Community College - NSCC and last SY 23-24, two more students received grants through Camosun College.
