While it is hard to calculate a specific rate, there is no doubt that TIGRR has been a very successful experience for mentees over the many years that it has been running. Based on follow-up surveys we think the likelihood of receiving funding is increased by 50-100%. Of course, we have excellent mentees starting the program. The mentors for TIGRR provide quality advice and guidance throughout the experience, and many funding representatives also participate in the workshop providing very valuable guidance to the mentees on site. Mentees often leave the workshop week considering funding opportunities that they had not been aware of before. You can view some testimonials from previous mentees below.
