Speakers will include Waterloo’s director of student awards and financial aid, associate registrar of admissions, current university students, and a professor sharing research on things students wish they knew before applying to university. Attendees will learn about:
– applying to university
– finding a program
– financing their education
– and will have the chance to ask questions through the live Q&A.
