After adding the platform to its portfolio, ILAC hopes to build “a powerful customer focused North American higher education platform”, the company’s CEO John DeFranco said.
UniApplyNow‘s digital platform, created in 2022, is used by international students and agents to connect, browse and apply for their “best-match programs”. It also gives students access to “expert university counsellors”, who review their academic background and are on hand to answer their questions.
It works with over 200 colleges and universities across the US, featuring upwards of 15,000 graduate and undergraduate programs.

“By joining the ILAC family, UniApplyNow will be able to utilise its extensive sales and marketing reach, better connecting us with new and existing recruitment partners around the world,” said Jenny Nieveen, president of UniApplyNow.
“Utilising ILAC KISS’s innovative online ESL platform will ensure students have the academic English skills required to succeed in their chosen program.”
“UniApplyNow is a powerful digital platform that is supported by human interaction. We are excited to have UniApplyNow join our team and have Jenny continue to lead UniApplyNow as its president,” said DeFranco.
The news comes hot on the heels of QS’s acquisition of HolonIQ, with the companies set to join forces to operate as a single entity.
