Unfortunately I believe the Millennium Excellence Awards program has recently been discontinued, as the program was not renewed by the Federal government.

Unfortunately, only TD Scholars have access to the bios of past winners at the moment.

I'm just wondering if you know where I can read the profile/bio of past TD Canada Trust scholarship recipients. On their website, they only have the current 2008-2009 recipient profiles.

Thanks Josh,

The Burger King Scholarship considers financial need, i'm pretty sure!

For sure, there are scholarships based on academics and financial need. You should check the scholarship web pages of specific university websites.

Good luck!

Are there any scholarships that are only based on Academics and Financial Need?

I did research, but all of the scholarships, regardless of amount, required leadership or other involvements.

I have a 92% average, minimal volunteering, and since both my parents are unemployed, I'm a great candidate for financial need.

Thanks for you help josh, and please let me know if you know anything!

Yah, I honestly can't say much beyond that. You shouldn't worry about the scholarships, and you shouldn't let that affect what you do in terms of your involvement. Just put your best foot forward and let things happen. There's really nothing else I can say.

Thanks so much for your response. I finally understand what you were trying to say, to not be stressed about what my chances are. But what still worries me is that I don't know if I am doing everything I can to present myself the best way possible, compared to what others are doing. I always think I should be doing more, but I don't know what it is exactly that I should do, for example I'm doing a lot of volunteering, but I don't know what more to do than that. That's what really stresses me at this point. So is there any advice you can give me on that?

Thanks so much.

Well all I can say is that it doesn't hurt to apply – I know it's easy to get obsessed with "what are my chances", but the fact is that you don't know until you take the chance. If you have the time, I say just go for it. If you put a lot of time into the essay, you might be surprised with how well you do.

Good luck!
