Ways to get involved

What SFG mentors do

SFG mentors guide students through every step of the university and scholarship application process. They help students:

  • Navigate applications and meet eligibility requirements.
  • Write and refine CVs, personal statements, and scholarship essays.
  • Conduct Mock Interviews to prepare for actual scholarship interviews.
  • Communicate with universities and scholarship boards.
  • Boost their English language confidence to communicate better.

Mentors connect with their mentees primarily through WhatsApp Group, with support from an SFG organizer. They exchange documents, provide feedback, and ensure students stay on track. Mentors can also join weekly support calls with the organizing team for guidance.

Each mentor follows a structured set of guidelines to assist students while maintaining professional and considerate relationship. Their role is not to complete applications for students but to empower them with the skills and confidence to do it themselves.

We need your help!

SFG is growing, and so is the need for mentors, volunteers, and resources to support Gazan students in their scholarship journey. Here’s how you can get involved:
