Definitely. Even though $5,000 isn't an insane amount of funding, its a year program, so that's only one year of tuition that you have to pay!
How have you been searching up on alumni? I'd definitely like to take a look
I want to pursue a career in child/family policy, and the program coordinator gave me the contact information of three alumni who work as policy analysts for the Ministry of Children and Youth Services. So that's reassuring! I'd definitely recommend emailing the program coordinator if you have questions about career prospects or about the program in general. She is so helpful!
And I already emailed them stating that I intend to accept their offer. I don't think your decision is considered 'official' until you pay the $300 deposit.
