Show detail Hide detail

Canada Millennium Scholarship Foundation : The Canada Millennium Scholarship Foundation was created through an Act of Parliament in 1998; it existed for a 10 year period as a private, independent organization with a mandate to improve access to post-secondary education for all Canadians. To this end, the Foundation received a $2.5 billion endowment that was redistributed as scholarships.

The Foundation had three primary objectives :
- To improve access to post-secondary education for all Canadians, particularly those who faced economic or social barriers;
- To foster academic excellence and student involvement in Canadian society; and
- To build a national alliance of organizations and individuals around a shared post-secondary agenda.

During the ten years of activity, the Foundation administered four separate scholarship programs :
- The Millennium Bursary Program;
- The Millennium Access Bursary Program;
- The Millennium Excellence Award Program (which comprised entrance and in-course awards); and
- The World Petroleum Council Millennium Scholarship Program.

The Foundation was governed by a 15-person Board of Directors, which established the organization's strategic orientations.

The Foundation ceased operations in June 2010.
