Millennium Scholarship

About this entry

The Canada Millennium Scholarship Foundation provides Canadian students with opportunities to pursue post-secondary education. Post-secondary education in Canada includes University, College, and CEGEP.
Its objectives are to improve access to post-secondary education for all Canadians, especially those facing economic or social barriers; to encourage a high level of student achievement and engagement in Canadian society; and to build a national alliance of organizations and individuals around a shared post-secondary agenda.
Since 2000, the Foundation has delivered more than half a million bursaries and scholarships worth more than $1.5 billion to students across Canada. Its millennium bursaries have assisted hundreds of thousands of Canadian students as they pursue their post-secondary education by reducing their student debt. Its millennium excellence awards have recognized thousands of high achieving and engaged students whose dedication to community service is an inspiration to all Canadians. This has been made possible through the Foundation's many partnerships and hundreds of volunteers across the country.
The
Canada Millennium Scholarship Foundation is a private, independent organization created by an act of Canadian Parliament in 1998. It encourages Canadian students to strive for excellence and pursue their post-secondary studies. The Foundation distributes $325 million in the form of bursaries and scholarships each year throughout Canada.
