Why We’re Here
Bridge the gap by connecting learning to life
Readiness Gap: Completing high school makes students eligible for university, but many fall short of being truly university-ready.
Match Gap: Students often struggle to find best-fit postsecondary options that meet their academic, social, and financial needs.Success Gap: Even well-prepared students face obstacles in finishing what they start.
