Mentor Program

The LAGRANT Foundation is excited to launch its Mentor Program. This year, TLF's 2011 scholarship recipients will partner with professionals within the industries of advertising, marketing and public relations. Throughout the 2011/2012 year, mentors and mentees will connect via phone, email and/or in person. Mentors will provide guidance and answers to questions to recipients as it relates to their career goals. This will allow each recipient to establish a trusting relationship with their mentor, who will help develop networking opportunities within the communications industry and serve as an on-going resource to the student.
