Summer Mentorship Program
FAB Scholars kicked off its inaugural summer mentorship program, The Pitch, on June 23. Designed to equip high school seniors for the next chapter of their academic journey, the program provided hands-on guidance for navigating college admissions and securing scholarships.
Over the course of six weeks, scholars engaged in one-on-one mentorship sessions with accomplished professionals, gaining personalized advice and real-world insights. They also participated in dynamic virtual events led by industry experts and scholarship advisors, learning proven strategies to stand out in competitive application processes.
By the end of the summer, each participant walked away with a clear, actionable plan for applying to college, securing financial aid, and pursuing their educational goals with confidence.
