The grant has been renewed yearly. Two of these students have graduated from Youngstown State University. Students must fill out an application through the Office of Affirmative Action. Faculty and staff who are interested in providing a student employment position must write a short narrative of the description or duties needed in their department. We encourage faculty and staff to identify students who qualify for the program who may have worked or studied under the mentor.
Students apply to our program in several ways.
Each student application is verified for eligibility. Narratives from departments are screened. When students not already identified by faculty fill out an application to the program, our staff try to get a feel for their interests and goals. Then, students are paired with prospective mentors. When the mentorship begins, measures are taken to ensure a pleasant work experience.
