The application must be filled out by the high school student. When students sign up on their own, they are showing us that they are interested and committed. If a parent signs you up, we will unfortunately not be able to consider the application.

1. First, students need to apply by the deadline via the tab Mentee Enrollment. 2. Next, admitted students will be invited to a mandatory orientation. 3. Once students have attended the orientation, they will receive a final form to submit for program policies and compliance. 4. Finally, students are assigned a mentor to work with for the duration of the semester.

We are committed to ensuring that our mentees are able to enroll in this program without any associated cost, so no, you do not have to pay. We do appreciate any contributions parents or other organizations would like to donate.

Our mentors are well versed in supporting their mentees with topics such as college admissions, financial aid, making a college list, managing their time, developing their resume, revising their college essay, and becoming more college and career ready!

We prioritize students who are fully committed to the whole program schedule. Please make sure you are aware of the dates/times of the program before applying.
