Why become a Fellowship mentor?
Our Board members and assessors can’t provide guidance to applicants directly because they must remain impartial. That’s where you come in. As a Fellowship mentor, you can offer friendly, practical support, and share insights, while keeping the assessment process fair and transparent.
Your role as a Fellowship mentor
As a Fellowship mentor, applicants may ask questions such as:
- Which Fellowship application route is the best fit?
- How much detail should I include in the application?
- What’s the process like overall?
By sharing your experience, you’ll help candidates feel more confident and better prepared.
Benefits beyond candidate support
Your mentorship benefits more than individual applicants. It helps us encourage broader diversity among Fellowship candidates and gives us valuable insight into the questions and challenges candidates face.
As a Fellowship mentor, you’re helping to create a strong and supportive Fellowship community.
