WHY PROJECT MENTOR
Closing the Gap
Not every school has AP options, competition coaching, or research connections—especially in rural or underfunded areas. Project Mentor is built by students who had to find these opportunities on our own. Our goal is to make the path clear, beginner-friendly, and free.
