Students Nova Scotia (Students NS), formerly known as the Alliance of Nova Scotia Student Associations (ANSSA), is an alliance of some Nova Scotia post-secondary student associations. Its stated aim is to give students a voice in Nova Scotia with government and the public, helping set the direction of post-secondary education by researching challenges, identifying solutions, and creating the political space needed for these solutions to happen.

Its six member associations represent close to 18,000 students on campuses across the province.

StudentsNS is governed by a board of directors composed of presidents and vice-presidents from each member association. The executive director manages the day-to-day operations of the organization's staff.
