The course, workshops, and events offered in this program provide you the opportunity to engage with professors, learn from peer mentors, and grow with other new students.

Interested in becoming a mentor?

FYE mentors are student leaders who assist first-year students as they transition to college life at NGU. FYE mentors attend the weekly NGU 101 class meetings in the fall semester and connect with students outside the classroom on a regular basis throughout their first academic year. Students who have already completed at least one full-time semester of coursework at NGU, have already completed NGU 101, and have maintained a GPA higher than 2.5 are eligible to apply for this scholarship.

For questions regarding the FYE mentor program, contact Sara Black via email at css@ngu.edu or phone at 864.977.2094.
