In 2010, as part of its 20th anniversary activities, Fulbright Canada established a mentorship program. The program is designed to connect new

Fulbright students with Fulbright alumni. The mentor pool consists of volunteers who provide advice to one (or more) new Fulbright student(s).

Incoming students are matched with a mentor before taking up their award. this is someone at their host institution, in their host city, or someone in

the host country who works in the same field. mentors provide advice ranging from practical questions about housing, transportation and

libraries, to academic issues, including advice on courses or professors, networking, and research. Ideally, if the mentor and his/her charge are not

located in the same city, they could be provided with an opportunity to meet using one of Fulbright’s existing mobility programs. both mentors and students provide a short report on their experience.

To find out more about the mentorship program and how you can become involved, please visit www.fulbright.ca.
