The Scholarship Report is a bi-monthly digital information resource for students.

The entire family can attend with the purchase of a family ticket. It is a two-hour session with a Q&A period at the conclusion of the presentation. Jane Kristoffy of Right Track Educational Services, and I, are two experienced educators and parents. Between us, we have kids in high school and university so we have been through this and understand the questions parents may have. Our kids have won scholarships and gained admittance into their first-choice programs.
Jane talks about setting goals grade-by-grade in high school, career awareness, tips to get into competitive programs, and application strategies. I talk about the cost of school and the various means to pay for it, including scholarships and bursaries (where to find them, application tips, how to prepare for them, etc.). We share experiences, examples, and anecdotes.
We supplement the hard work of guidance counsellors and teachers and hope to remove the stress of the unknown from parents and students.
Parents can PURCHASE A FAMILY TICKET for any of the dates below.
"Extremely valuable sessions. Learned a LOT. Thank you both for a wealth of insights and helpful advice. We will recommend your session to others!" - parent attendee

VALUABLE. INFORMATIVE. HELPFUL.
