The Gifted Mentorship Program places high school juniors and seniors who apply and qualify with a mentor in their field of interest.
Department Overview
The Gifted Mentorship Program is for exceptional high school juniors and seniors who are self-disciplined and interested in pursuing an independent study under the direction of a professional/expert in a field of great interest to the student. The program is for high-ability, high-achieving students who have completed advanced coursework. The program gives motivated, mature high school students an idea of what it is like to work in a field of their interest by being partnered with a professional who acts as their mentor. Students spend 45-60 hours with their mentor and earn half an elective credit for the mentorship when they successfully complete several assignments, including a final project.
