Canadian Education Project
The Canadian Education Project is a Toronto-based company committed to high-quality education for all Canadians at all levels of the education spectrum. The Canadian Education Project started in 2009 as part of the Higher Education Strategy Associates (formerly the Educational Policy Institute Canada (2004-2009)). The Canadian Education Project was created to meet the need for more rigorous education research and to strengthen linkages between the research and public policy communities in Canada. Our staff and scholars combine unrivalled knowledge of the Canadian education sector with extensive expertise in research and program evaluation; we produce high-quality research and a broad range of informational, analytical, advisory and policy-related services for an array of clients.

The Canada Millennium Scholarship Foundation
The Canada Millennium Scholarship Foundation is a private, independent organization created by an act of Parliament in 1998. It encourages Canadian students to strive for excellence and pursue their post-secondary studies. The Foundation distributes $325 million in the form of bursaries and scholarships each year throughout Canada. Its objectives are to improve access to post-secondary education for all Canadians, especially those facing economic or social barriers; to encourage a high level of student achievement and engagement in Canadian society; and to build a national alliance of organizations and individuals around a shared post-secondary agenda.
The Foundation is funding the MESA project overall, and has negotiated access to its student administrative lists with each of the provinces on the project's behalf.
