Founded by students at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, Mentors for Higher Education is a program that pairs high school students with college mentors to provide personal support through the college application process. We believe every student deserves the opportunity to pursue higher education regardless of their background, and are committed to providing resources for students to understand their options and make important decisions about their future.
We provide students with the resources and guidance to apply to college through virtual mentorship meetings. Our mentors help you research colleges, understand the finances, review college essays, ask for recommendation letters, and submit applications.
