Description  The FTD Project has been undertaken by the Canadian Millennium Scholarship Foundation (CMSF) and the New Brunswick and Manitoba Departments of Education.

Statistics Canada's role was to conduct interviews of a sample of grade nine students and their parents plus have consent forms signed.

Purpose  The purpose of this project is to try to understand whether better information about career choices and/or a promise of financial incentives can encourage students who might not normally decide to pursue post-secondary education (PSE), to complete high school and go on to PSE. In general terms, the project entails interviewing a sample of Grade nine students and their parents.
Scope  The target population includes all Grade nine students in their respective province (New Brunswick or Manitoba), who are Canadian Citizens or landed immigrants to Canada. The survey population includes those students who were enrolled in one of the targeted schools (a school had to have at least 90 grade nine students) and had to have a parent or legal guardian available to sign a consent form.
