Canada Millennium Scholarship Foundation


Responsibilities

The Canada Millennium Scholarship Foundation provides students with opportunities to pursue the post-secondary education they need to prepare themselves for the future. It does this by improving access to post-secondary education for all Canadians, especially those facing economic or social barriers. It also encourages a high level of student achievement and engagement in Canadian society and works to build a national alliance of organizations and individuals around a shared post-secondary agenda.

The Foundation fulfills its mission primarily through the delivery of non-repayable grants based on need and merit to students studying at the post-secondary level; through related developmental programs; and through research and experimentation designed to test new approaches to the removal of academic, financial and information barriers to post-secondary study.

The Foundation's Annual Report is tabled each year in Parliament through the Minister of Human Resources and Social Development Canada.
