This organization's mission is to "Educate the World". Three former residents of Iran, Martin. Meti and Massi Basiri, who all came to Canada for their higher education recognized the difficulty international students have in obtaining information and support to apply to universities and colleges in foreign countries.
They developed an online platform which provides access to Recruitment Partners who can guide students through the process of application to Partner Schools around the world. There is a 95% acceptance rate from the Partner Schools for students applying through ApplyBoard.
It is a proven fact that not only do international students pay more for tuition in foreign countries, but there is a long-term economic benefit to having these students come to our country for their education - higher paying jobs as a result, children of these students generally take higher education, etc.
ApplyBoard has won multiple awards for their work and has a current valuation of $3.2 Billion. Their work is expanding exponentially as more international students looking for education abroad learn about their platform.
