• Apply To Be A Girls In Research Mentor

     

    For Research Scholar, we are currently accepting mentors who are terminal degree candidates or holders in their respective fields. All of our Research Scholar mentors must have studied or are currently studying at a top 10 global university in the US or UK.

     

    For App-Builder, all of our App-Builder mentors must have accomplished technical backgrounds and be able to demostrate relevant experience. The majority of our mentors have studied or are currently studying at a top 10 global university in the UK or the US.

     

    Our compensation is competitive for all of our mentors for Research Scholar and App-Builder. However, we do have many mentors who also volunteer to mentor our scholarship students, the same application process for both is below.
