HSCC Mentors
At the core of HSCC is peer-to-peer mentorship.
HSCC's mentors are UNT students. Having recently gone through the college-admission process, they understand HSCC's target audience. The mentors undergo extensive training from HSCC's full-time staff, who have graduate-level degrees, mostly in educational counseling.
HSCC's professional counselors oversee all aspects of the program, while the UNT student mentors facilitate career guidance. Mentors represent:
- UNT's degree programs, ensuring exposure to many disciplines
- UNT's diversity, as nearly fifty percent of our students identify as minorities
Our mentors are personify postsecondary access and persistence. Mentors are also prepared to discuss admissions and financial aid concerns, enabling them to assist participants in overcoming college access barriers.
