The information posted here:
is not a complete representation of all USA research opportunities that could be available to students; it is simply a starting point.
is a sampling of resources that have been found by, or shared with, the Guidance department.
Application Processes, Policies & Procedures, Fees, Requirements, Deadlines etc. can vary among schools and among Provinces and States. Students are encouraged to begin their research well in advance of their Gr. 12 year - and remember, most US colleges review and consider your entire secondary school history (not just Gr. 11 & 12 like here in Ontario)!
If you require a working transcript, or Grad Summary, to share with a prospective U.S. school, please email your request to our Guidance Secretary.
If you are registering with the Common App, please let Ms. Siemiaszko know. She will process the paperwork required by the Common App from SWC: irene.siemiaszko@dsbn.org
