Welcome to the Honors Peer Mentorship Program Application!
The Peer Mentorship Program within the FSU Honors Program pairs Honors students at the University as mentors & mentees to aid students in both positions in developing meaningful relationships, finding purpose and connection within the Honors Program community, and tapping into resources for their intellectual, personal and social growth.
