The Canadian Milennium Scholarship Foundation
Millennium bursaries of $1,000 to $4,500 are awarded each year to post-secondary students who face the greatest financial challenges. These bursaries help students focus on their studies, instead of their debt. Best of all, millennium bursaries do not have to be repaid. The Canada Millennium Scholarship Foundation understands the costs of post-secondary education. Tuition, books and living expenses can add up. Students sometimes struggle to pay their bills and minimize their debt. That’s where the Millennium Bursary Program comes in.
Application: automatic
You don’t have to apply for them, either. You’ll be atomatically considered for the program when you apply for post-secondary financial assistance in your home province.
