To those thinking of applying, my advice is: go for it. This opportunity is more than just financial aid; it's a journey of personal and professional discovery.
This is the ideal offer for any student fresh out of college; a job, a mentor and some financial aid. My mentor assisted me in setting my goals and provided me with guidance on how to achieve them.
The entire program has been life-changing. It provided financial support and afforded me the opportunity to connect with some really amazing PwC professionals that supported me and provided guidance along the way.

One of my biggest dreams was to work at PwC Canada and now it's finally coming to fruition! Not only did the Scholarship and Mentorship Program allow me to achieve my dream, but it also helped me to pay a huge portion of my second-term tuition.

I found the application and interviewing process so smooth and designed to really let each student display the shining parts of their personalities. The best advice I could give to someone applying for this program is to be confident in yourself.
