Samata Institute/ Become a Mentor

Make a difference in the world!

A Mentoring Program free of cost to enable students for Higher Education in Indian and Foreign Universities

Turn your passion into action.

We’ll connect you with a standout student who aspires to study your degree subject at a top university or wants to peruse a profession. You worked hard and achieved success in your profession or academic career. It is now your responsibility to assist another individual in their academic or professional pursuits. Our platform allows you to assist others in getting there as well. You can help individuals level up with an hour of video mentoring per week.

What it means to be a mentor

One-on-one mentoring between less privileged applicants and current top university students is at the heart of the Samata Scholars Program. You will be connected with a mentee who is interested in studying for a degree similar to yours at your university and is ideally from your region. Your monthly contribution of 1-2 hours can make a big difference. Throughout the application process, as a mentor, you assist applicants in application support and tips for the application and also encourage them in their quest to get access to higher education.
