Nova Scotia is introducing a graduate tax incentive that will offer community college and university graduates up to $15,000 in order to keep skilled young people in-province. Although it is the second-smallest province in Canada, Nova Scotia’s university enrollment per capita is the highest. The Memorandum of Understanding on University Funding and Tuition Fees has also announced its plans on freezing tuition fees for university students for the 2010-2011 academic year. Working closely with post-secondary institutions, the government also plans to make the best use of the Nova Scotia Crown Share University Infrastructure Trust Fund.
