Scholarships can either be money you receive directly to assist with the costs of post-secondary education expenses, or credits for tuition or residence payments given directly to you. These monies issued like grants and bursaries, don't have to be repaid.
Most scholarships are awarded on the basis of excellence in a particular area such as academics or sports.

The Government of Canada provides scholarships and bursaries through the Canada Millennium Scholarships Program (including the Millennium Bursary, Excellence Awards and Access Bursary).
The Canada Millennium Scholarship Foundation has delivered more than half a million bursaries and scholarships worth more than $2.2 billion to students across Canada since 2000. 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.

Bursaries and Grants
A grant is funding given by governments to eligible students of certain groups who demonstrate need.
A bursary is money from governments, schools or private organizations that is given to students on the basis of financial need. Like grants, other factors such as good grades may play a role, too. Grants and bursaries do not have to be repaid.
