Mentor Support Services
The Formula to Student Success
Whether the student is studying to be a robotics technician or a registered nurse, the system works the same. Providing intellectual assistance (IQ), emotional support (EQ), and financial intelligence (FQ) is the formula to student success. The Hometown Scholars mentor support services are provided in two ways, through an online dashboard and by upperclassmen or graduate live-in mentors.
Transitional Housing Component
Finally, our team combines the Hometown Scholars Program with a transitional housing component. This transitional period supports the beginning of the student’s career as it continues to give Life-Skills training and Career Development courses. This model strengthens the local economy by assisting the recent graduates to remain in the community while they transition from student to working professional.
