How to Find an Education Consultant to Help You with Application Season

Need a hand with college or university apps? The new education consultants page can help.

It's application season for college and university, and parents often ask us about education consultants who can assist with admissions and scholarship applications.

To help, we've created a new page highlighting education consultants across Canada. You'll find dozens of consultants who have proven experience and success in helping students like you reach their goals.

How to use the new education consultants page

The page is simple. You can filter by your province, or use the search bar for specific queries. Each consultant has a short blurb about their offerings, and you'll find links to visit their websites or send them an email directly.

5 ways an education consultant can help

Sites like SchoolFinder and ScholarshipsCanada are great, as you can explore and compare your choices at your leisure. But sometimes, the sheer number of options can be overwhelming, and it feels near-impossible to sort through it all.

Plus, you're still on your own for your applications, which can be a little scary.

1. Find the right school, program, and scholarship

A consultant can help you identify programs and funding opportunities that match your grades, interests, budget, and career goals.

2. Manage various requirements and deadlines

Consultants can help you track application dates, transcripts, reference letters, supplementary forms, scholarship essays, and other required documents, which often have different deadlines.

3. Strengthen your applications

Education consultants have expertise in reviewing personal statements, scholarship essays, and resumés, which can help you present your experience clearly and make a good impression.

4. Avoid preventable mistakes

Having an experienced consultant on your side can help you catch incomplete answers, missing documents, unsuitable program choices, or applications that miss the mark for procedural or technical reasons.

5. Providing structure and inspiring confidence

A good education consultant can help you break the application process into manageable steps, answer questions, and keep you moving forward while feeling confident, calm, and capable!

Hiring an education consultant won't be right for every student and family, and costs will depend on the consultant and the services you require, but if you're feeling stuck and could use a little support, you might benefit from reaching out to an education consultant.
