Be a Mentor


Our mentors are our greatest asset

Picture
Our class of mentors is the backbone of The Phoenix Scholars program. Mentors are matched with a Scholar who has similar experiences and interests as them and help to guide that student through the college admissions process. Most of our mentors come from low-income, first-generation, or minority backgrounds themselves. The Phoenix Scholars core team supports the mentors with monthly meetings and check-ins as well as electronic resources.

The Mentor Experience


Join the Family

Apply to be a Mentor

If you are a college student with a passion for mentorship, you should apply to be a Phoenix Scholars mentor! We hold our mentors to the highest standard. Our mentors are expected to communicate regularly with their scholar and the core team, fulfill any mentor assignments in a timely manner, and attend monthly meetings. Before the program begins, all mentors must also attend a training workshop led by a Stanford admissions officer.

Become a Fellow

If you are a Stanford University student, be on the lookout for the announcement of our Fellows program. 

The Fellows program is a rotational program in which you work in each our operational branches and then decide which team you'd like to spend your time on.

"Being a mentor for The Phoenix Scholars has been one of the most rewarding things I've done in my life. Coming from a rural low-income background myself, being able to be in a position to give back and help someone else from a similar place is incredibly gratifying."
