  15. College and University Pathway A few last comments: • Budget your post-secondary schooling with your parents. • OSAP applications open in spring. Earlier you apply the better, but there is no hard ‘deadline’. • Pay attention to the conditions of your offer. • Find out about supports at your school!

  16. Conclusion • Communicate with School Liasions • Talk to Guidance, Teachers, Parents, etc. • Hand in the Grad Surveys on your way out. Have a Plan!
