Help us understand parent needs! - Parents with high school aged children

Do you have children who are thinking about going to university in the next couple of years? Do you want to help a small non-profit organisation expand their support? 

We want to hear from you! 

 


We are a non-profit organisation focused on helping under-represented students into university - we’re hoping to extend our reach and support to parents, but we need to hear from you first!


 


Sign up for one of the three online events below. You will be able to ask one of our experts about any aspect of the university application process and get a quick guide to the process from start to finish! Each session will be 45 minutes long and will only have 6 participants. This will give us the opportunity to find out what kind of support parents like you would benefit from going forwards. 


 


If you think this is something you would be interested in, please register now using the link below! You will receive a confirmation email with details about the session you will be attending within 5 business days. Make sure to check your junk/spam folder in case our response was filtered there.
