One Million Students Helped
It’s official: ApplyBoard has helped over a million students.
In his inspiring opening address, Global Access to a Global Education, CEO & Co-Founder Meti Basiri shared that ApplyBoard has helped more than one million students on their study abroad journeys. That’s one million students who’ve been given the potential to chase their study dreams, change their lives, and make an impact on our world.
As we think ahead to the next million students we’ll help, Meti shared how their expectations will continue to shift in the years ahead. More than ever before, students will:
- Choose between many competing destinations
- Demand study abroad programs with clear career outcomes
- Expect end-to-end service, personalization, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) tech
One thing’s for sure: you can expect that ApplyBoard will continue to meet our students where they need us, and will enable our partners with the tools and technology to do the same.
