Frequently Asked Questions

What is the cash reward?
The honorarium cash reward is one way we thank our mentors for volunteering their time and skills to the program. You will be advised of the amount when you are accepted into the program.

How many students will I be responsible for?
The minimum number is usually 4 new students; the maximum is 10.  The usual number per group is 6-8.

Will my group members be doing the same degree program as myself?
We try to match new students with mentors according to Faculty/School, then according to degree program where possible.

How often do I need to contact my mentees?
Mentors are required to meet face to face individually with their mentees at least once during the program. Mentors are expected to send weekly emails or SMS, checking with each member how they are going, if they have any questions, and keeping them informed of relevant activities.
