We Help Students Get Admitted Into the Best International Educational Institutions

An Easy-to-Use Platform Built to Deliver Quality Applications and More

ApplyBoard believes that education should be accessible to all. We delivered 1,000 backpacks and school supplies to empower children in India to dream big and work hard to achieve their dreams.

The STEM for Change Scholarship seeks to drive diversity and inclusion by empowering women worldwide to pursue an education in STEM. See how we surprised the 2021 recipients.

ApplyBoard simplifies the study abroad search, application, and acceptance process by connecting international students, recruitment partners, and academic institutions on one platform. 

Founded in 2015 by brothers Martin, Meti, and Massi Basiri, we’ve built partnerships with 1,500+ primary, secondary, and post-secondary educational institutions, and work with 6,500+ recruitment partners to drive diversity on campuses across Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Ireland.

ApplyBoard has grown to become the world’s largest online platform for international student recruitment, assisting more than 1 million students with their educational journeys. In 2022, ApplyBoard was named one of the fastest-growing technology companies in Canada by Deloitte, ranking #30 on the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 and #170 on the 2022 Deloitte Technology Fast 500 list. This marked the fourth consecutive year that ApplyBoard was recognized by Deloitte as one of Canada’s fastest-growing companies.

Our team has grown quickly over the past decade, and we now have 1,000+ team members across the globe. The ApplyBoard headquarters is located in downtown Kitchener, ON, with representatives in more than 30 other countries including India, China, Vietnam, the Philippines, Nepal, Bangladesh, the United Kingdom, Australia, and the United States.
