By Media RelationsWATERLOO, Ont. (Thursday, Jan. 10, 2013) - Grade 10 students and their parents are invited to attend an information session next week about planning for a university education.
Grade 10 Family Night, which will take place at the University of Waterloo on Wednesday, January 16, will help students learn what they can do now to prepare for applying to Ontario's universities.
“While Grade 10 may seem early for students to learn about university, it’s never too early to start planning,” said Valerie Herteis, Waterloo’s manager of liaison.
The evening will help parents and high school students learn about the wide range of academic programs available, as well as different ways to help pay for university.
“Parents who attended this session in the past have found it very helpful to get advice ahead of time so they understand the university admissions process and what courses students should be taking in high school,” said Herteis.
Topics include:
• Admission requirements and application information: Nancy Weiner, associate registrar (Admissions)
• Budgeting for a university education: Maureen Jones, director of Student Awards and Financial Aid
• What I wish I knew about university while still in high school: current Waterloo students
• Building your momentum at Waterloo: Professor Barb Moffatt, winner of Waterloo’s Distinguished Teacher Award
The evening starts at 6:30 p.m. and will take place in the Theatre of the Arts, located in the Modern Languages building at the Waterloo campus. The event will also appear as a live webcast. Further details and registration are available at findoutmore.uwaterloo.ca/parents.
