“My mentorship has been incredibly beneficial helping me in many ways.  Lauryn, my mentor, was an experienced university student and throughout my mentorship has helped me to complete homework, understand university life and mentored me through the daunting process of applying for universities.  Without my mentor and the support she provided I would be reluctant to want to attend university.  I would highly recommend the Monash Access Mentorship Program to anyone considering applying for it.”  William Rear, year 12 FHS 2020.
