NC School of Science and Mathematics (NCSSM)

NC School of Science and Mathematics (NCSSM) is reaching out to ask for your consideration in the opportunity to mentor a student this summer and/or academic year 2024-2025.

Mentor enrollment is NOW OPEN and we need your help in engaging the thinkers, makers, and doers of the next generation! Feel free to share with any colleagues that may be interested in the opportunity to mentor our students as they begin their journeys as young researchers.

The NCSSM Mentorship Program is celebrating its 43rd anniversary and is proud to serve more than 100 NCSSM students from around the state!  The need for mentors to engage our students in research has increased with our continued commitment to the NCSSM mission to cultivate leaders and engaged citizens through research and innovation.
