Being experienced with US, UK, Canadian, European and Australian university entry requirements and application procedures; our counselors can help research the possibilities of scholarships as well as walk you through the procedures required. We are also very familiar with the rigors of the IB, AP, A-Level and Tawjihi exams as well as what universities require of candidates from these educational programs.
