Hear From Our Partners

"First and foremost it was worth it. To have the support of Mentor Collective in helping us develop a program that we know through research is incredibly valuable;  we just didn’t have the time to implement it…and implement it well. To leverage this platform to use various funding streams to cover some of these costs has allowed us to serve these students in a way that we know is beneficial, we just haven’t been able to accomplish in the past. The time spent, the staff resource spent has been far outweighed by the student success that’s come of this. For us it’s been an incredible value."

"All of the equity gaps disappeared, and every group had 64 percent or higher persistence.  If you think about a 16 percent gain in persistence in a program of 1,000 participants, that’s 160 students who would have otherwise attrited. That’s ROI."
