The Millennium Excellence Award Program distributes two types of scholarships. The first is aimed at students entering post-secondary education for the first time and is called the entrance award. The second is aimed at students in the upper years of their post-secondary undergraduate education who have not already been recognized by a substantial merit scholarship; it is called the in-course award.
Both scholarships seek to recognize the leaders of today and tomorrow and emphasize the importance of supporting their contributions to our country’s future. Millennium excellence awards are not prizes for benchmarks achieved – they are investments in the development of exceptional individuals who will have long, productive careers and whose accomplishments will benefit Canada as a whole. The Foundation distributes up to five per cent of its annual allocation through its Millennium Excellence Award Program.
