Empowering youth in and from government care in BC

I'm thinking about going back to school. Where do I start?

Here are some different factors to think about when deciding what school or program might be a good fit for you:

What are you interested in?

Search the topic you want to study and see what options are available in BC.

What’s your schedule like?

You can study:

• Full time.
• Part time.
• Over a few months.
• Over several years.

What’s your ideal learning environment?

You can take classes:

• Online.
• On campus.
• As a combination of both.

And, of course, what about the money?

You’ll have to think about:

• Tuition costs.
• Funding options.
• Budgeting during school.

Who can help me choose the best school or program for me?

Well, you know what’s best for you. But if you want advice, you can talk to an academic adviser at any school.

OK, I picked a program. Now what?

Once you have chosen one (or a few) programs, start applying! ApplyBC lets you apply to all the schools you’re interested in through one site. Here’s what you’ll need to fill out your application:
