Our Scholars receive one-on-one mentorship throughout their academic careers. Our goal is to ensure matriculation into medical school and successful graduation. Anyone is welcome to reach out to us for mentorship. We are available to answer your questions about college, being a pre-medical student, and the medical school admissions process.
