As a FAFSA Fellow, you will be an integral part of iMentor’s Program and Partner Success team, which plays a crucial role in supporting students, mentors, and partners. Fellows will connect with and support the transition of 12th grade students into college with the goal of preventing “summer melt” – the phenomenon where students who have been accepted into and intend to enroll in college in the fall, fail to matriculate. This role requires adaptability, empathy, and flexibility as students’ needs and circumstances change. This is a remote, part-time, temporary role for the months of July and August.
