Harper College will be closed Wednesday, November 27 through Sunday, December 1 for Thanksgiving Break.
An important component of the HOPE Scholarship is the mentoring program. Each student
is paired with a mentor from the HOPE membership. All HOPE members are eligible to
sign up to be a mentor each year. Mentoring relationships are proven to have a positive
impact on the students and their future.
What do you mean by "Mentorship?"
Influence a HOPE Giving Circle scholarship recipient's educational and professional
life.
Help to build a network of professional women supporters for the recipients.
Provide feedback and support on educational and career plans.
Provide real life career modeling, and coach them on the professional world.
Teach them how to think strategically about their long and short-term goals.
