SUMMARY:Writing for Applications
DESCRIPTION:These sessions aim to help students complete the supplemental writing portions of their post-secondary and scholarship applications. \nWriting Workshop allows students to work on the written portions of their US\, UK\, and Canadian applications (and scholarship applications\,\ntoo!) in an oversighted and productive environment. Students are able to receive assistance in all parts of the writing process: brainstorming\, drafting\, editing and finalizing their work. We accommodate students working on a variety of projects all in the same session\, and our writing coaches work personally with students on their unique pieces. \n\nStudents should have handy their list of universities and programs they are applying to for this session.\nIf you are in person\, please bring a laptop. All students need a Google account to access Google Drive and Google Classroom.\nWe strongly encourage all students to attend an Intro to Canadian Supplement Writing Workshop before attending a Supplement Writing Workshop.
