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.
Becoming a Mentee
To become a mentee, select the "Honors Peer Mentorship Program Mentee Application" found in this portal. Mentees can apply to receive a mentor at any time.
Who can be a mentee?
Honors students in their first or second year at FSU can be mentees; this experience is recommended for students in their first year or who were laterally admitted to the Honors Program. The Honors Program will match students with mentors based on preferences including academic, professional, and social interests.
What are the benefits of being a mentee?
Mentor relationships support students during periods of transition, foster meaningful connections, and help identify campus opportunities that promote academic, social, and personal growth. As a mentee, you’ll be paired with a fellow FSU Honors student who understands the campus environment and the experiences unique to the Honors community.

Additionally, mentors receive service hours that can be logged in ServScript for their service to the Honors community and are eligible for additional consideration in the Honors Colloquium Leader application process.
