Hello,

I am looking into university applications and I am wondering where to go. I am in love with mathematics and the theoretical side of physics, and I am wondering about universities in Canada that would be a good choice for me. I am also in a pretty bad state finance wise (single mother, etc) and I was wondering if there are any good scholarships that you may recommend. I have done a lot of humanitarian work around the world, if there are any scholarships that are good for that. My grades have not been too good in the past, though there is a vast improvement in my marks, going from the bottom of the class and failing multiple courses to being at the very top of the class in many of my subjects. If there is a scholarship for improvement, please let me know!

Thank you all!

Dear student,

Thank you for reaching out about your university applications. It's wonderful to hear about your passion for mathematics and theoretical physics. Canada has many excellent universities that offer strong programs in these fields, so you have a lot of options to choose from. Some universities that come to mind are the University of Toronto, the University of Waterloo, and the University of British Columbia.

As for scholarships, I would recommend looking into the scholarships offered by the universities themselves. Many universities have scholarships specifically for students who excel academically, and some also have scholarships for students who have demonstrated significant improvement in their academic performance. Additionally, there are often scholarships available for students who have done humanitarian work, so make sure to research those as well.

In terms of financing your education, I would also recommend looking into government grants and loans, as well as any financial aid programs offered by the universities themselves. It's also a good idea to reach out to the financial aid office at the universities you are interested in to see if they have any specific resources or advice for students in your situation.

Best of luck with your university applications and I wish you all the best in your academic journey!
