Canada Millennium Scholarship Foundation - Canada Student Grants Program
Canada Millennium Scholarship Foundation is a private independent program, which is engaged into helping students to receive their further education by supplying them with the educational scholarships. It was founded in 1998 by the act of the Parliament of Canada.
Canada Millennium Scholarship Foundation receives an endowment of $2,5 billion from the government in order to provide scholarships in the duration of ten years. All the funds are aimed on supporting post-secondary education among all the Canadians. The greater attention is paid to those people who are suffering from the poor financial position or some social barriers.
Since 2008, Canada Millennium Scholarship Foundation has supplied a half a million of students with the opportunities to receive post-secondary education free of charge. There are two best-known programs within the curriculum of Canada Millennium Scholarship Foundation:
• The Millennium Bursary Program, which supplies students with the awful financial situation;
• The Millennium Excellence Award Program, which presents the scholarships merit based; (the merit not only in the academics, but also in the community service).
In February 2008, the term of the 10 years program has gone, that is why the new program is established, which goes under the title – Canada Student Grants Program.
