FAFSA was designed to make applying for federal student aid easier and faster, but last year’s rollout had the opposite effect. Delays and technical glitches caused confusion for students, who rely on these funds for college. ? This year, the FAFSA application faces yet another delay, with the form being fully available only by December. These complications have already contributed to a 2nd consecutive year of fewer students applying—with high school seniors and first-time applicants down by 9%. ? At iMentor, we are dedicated to supporting students and their families as they navigate these challenges, ensuring that every student has the opportunity to achieve their highest ambitions.

iMentor was honored to be invited back to the PwC Intern Impact Festival this month in Orlando Florida to present on mentoring to 3,100 student interns as part of an empowering two-day event. iMentor had the opportunity to share our mission and lead a conference session: “The Magic of Mentoring: Discover Your Unique Mentoring Style.” Interns in the room participated in a series of interactive scenarios designed to introduce them to different mentorship styles and help them uncover their own mentoring superpower. We also hosted an iMentor booth in the conference expo hall where interns took polaroid selfies with their mentor personas. Thankful to have been with Katie Longofono, Malavika Manwani, Lissette Caravantes, and Whitney Whiting-Gonzalez for this incredible experience! Lastly, thank you to the PwC team! #iMentor #mentoringmatters

Mentorship is not just about giving back; it’s a journey of growth for both mentors and mentees. At iMentor, we believe in the transformative impact mentorship can have on personal and professional development. As Soon Hagerty puts in Forbes, mentorship “expands horizons”. It’s a two-way street where both mentor and mentee sharpen skills, expand networks, and gain fresh perspectives.
