Mentors commit to providing an annual $2,000 scholarship for up to four years or until the student graduates. Students must reapply annually for renewal with their mentor. To participate in your own deeply rewarding Community Partners Mentoring Scholarship experience, please contact us.

Mentor Time Commitment

Mentors serve as advocates as students grow their professional portfolio, network, and develop interview skills. Mentors and students meet or touch base once a month during the academic year via text messaging, email, or in person. As well, mentors and students participate in program events throughout the year.

Prospective Students

 

Would you like to have your own personal advocate? How about a $2,000 scholarship? You can have both!

The Community Partners program matches you with a volunteer from the profession to which you aspire and provides a $2,000 annually renewable scholarship.

During the academic year students and mentors touch base once a month via email, in person, or by text message. It can be a simple ‘hi’ or getting feedback, or touring their business. Once matched, mentors and students create their own unique relationship. No matter your aspirations, mentors are an invaluable resource and advocate for you.

The sky is the limit in how your mentor can support your professional aspirations!
