Mentora Scholars Program
Mentora Scholars is a selective, funded fellowship for U.S. and Canadian college students, as well as students within one year of graduation, who want to grow as leaders and changemakers. The program invites Scholars to reflect deeply, strengthen character, build meaningful relationships with peers, and clarify their beliefs about life, career, leadership, and the world. This program is especially interested in students who combine a drive for excellence with self-awareness, curiosity, and a commitment to growth. They want to deepen their understanding of themselves, strengthen their character, and turn inner growth into meaningful impact in the world.
