College Consultant Mentors


Mentors

Overview:

The College Consultant Mentoring Program is one of the centerpieces of the Chicago Scholars Program and helps ensure that each scholar makes well-informed decisions about college.

College Consultant Mentors are assigned to a cohort of students during their senior year of high school in order to help them navigate the college application and admissions process. College Consultant Mentors help our scholars explore a broad array of university options and provides them with the necessary guidance, encouragement, and tools needed to utilize our programs effectively.

College Consultant Mentors make a formal one-year commitment to support the scholars through their senior year of high school. While the formal mentoring relationship ends upon high school commencement, many Consultant-Scholar relationships continue into and through the students' college years.

Roles:                               

  • Provide socio-emotional and intellectual support during the college application process
  • Offer advice to help scholars assess and select a "match" and "fit" university
  • Assist scholars with financial aid paperwork and processes 
  • Encourage scholars to get the most out of the Chicago Scholars Program, including: Essay Writing Workshops, 1-on-1 Counseling, College Speed Dating, and the Annual Onsite Admissions Forum.
