GUIDANCE NEWSLETTER
Hi from the City School Guidance Desk
Upcoming Events
All TDSB students are now using myBlueprint www.myBlueprint.ca/tdsb/ to create an Annual Education Plan that includes making you investigate every course requirement you need to get into the post-secondary program(s) in which you are interested in applying. Our Activation key is “cityschool”.
The Ontario University Application Centre (OUAC) www.ouac.on.ca/
is a starting place to get links to all University programs available in Ontario and is the site where you file your application on-line.

2012/2013 edition of eINFO is now live. Visit www.electronicinfo.ca for up-to-date information about University programs, Admission Requirements, and additional resources. This year, eINFO includes links to tuition and fees information on the “Important Information” page. Check regularly for updates from the Universities.
Don’t let money stand in the way of applying to post-secondary institutions. Go to www.studentawards.com/ and www.scholarshipscanada.com/ to get free money! These awards are not just based on grades, but have a wide variety of qualifications. Hundreds of scholarships are left unrewarded each year because no one applied for them! Have a look!
