Canada Millennium Scholarship Fund

Canada Millennium Scholarship Foundation

The millennium scholarship fund will provide 100,000 scholarships a year to students in every province and every community, with up to $3,000 per year for full time and part time students, young Canadians and adults at universities, at community colleges, at technical schools and vocational institutes.

For example, we have announced the Canadian opportunities strategy, the Canada millennium scholarship fund, the Canada educational savings grant, the youth employment strategy, tax relief on interest payments on student loans, and have helped to connect every public school and library in Canada to the Internet.

The Canada millennium endowment fund will invest in academic excellence and will provide thousands of scholarships each year to help give Canadians access to universities and colleges.
