Become a Vaigyaanik India Mentor
We level the playing field in higher education by helping less privileged students apply to top universities
What it means to be a mentor
-
The core of the Project Vaigyaanik India is one-on-one mentoring between less privileged applicants and current top university students.
-
You will be paired with a mentee - ideally from your country/region - who is interested in studying a degree similar to yours at your university.
-
1-2 hours a month of your support can have great impact. As a mentor, you provide applicants with encouragement, application support and tips and tricks throughout the application process.
Make a difference – become a mentor!
​Mentoring can be one of the most satisfying and rewarding experiences you'll ever have. You may be uncertain about what mentoring involves or whether you have the background and experience to succeed at mentoring. Many people considering mentoring often have these concerns and wonder what it's all about.
What is mentoring
Mentoring is a one-to-one or group relationship that one or more adults develop with one or more youth to help them grow and succeed. Mentoring is most effective when it is a structured and trusting relationship that brings young people together with caring individuals who provide guidance, support, and encouragement.
Why should I mentor
Simply put, because you can make a difference in a child's life, as well as your own. Consider the many benefits that mentoring offers: enhancing academic success, improving workforce readiness, reducing juvenile crime, increasing self-esteem, revealing new opportunities and career paths for youth, and strengthening communities.
