At ApplyBoard, we believe in unlocking the potential of every aspiring mind.
We enable global access to global education by connecting students, partner institutions, and recruitment partners on one intuitive full-service platform.
Since 2015, ApplyBoard has been on a mission to make education accessible. Our co-founders, Meti and Massi Basiri, were international students themselves. After facing obstacles and struggling with a restrictive process, the brothers saw an opportunity to break down these barriers.
In 2024, ApplyBoard was named one of the fastest-growing technology companies in Canada by Deloitte, ranking #4 on the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 Enterprise—Industry leaders list. This marked the sixth consecutive year that ApplyBoard was recognized by Deloitte.
We enable global access to global education through our full service platform, empowering students, institutions, and partners across the globe.
