The Mentorship Program is a highly competitive program that pairs high school students interested in the field of mathematics study and research, with graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and faculty in the field. Students work on a math research project of their interests under the guidance of their mentor.
Mentees meet with their mentors on a regular basis either virtually or at the St. George (downtown) campus at U of T on a schedule that fits both of them. The program begins with a welcoming opening ceremony, and ends with a closing ceremony, where students present their research in front of an evaluation team. The top project(s) selected by the evaluation team gets an opportunity to attend the Canadian Undergraduate Mathematics Conference to present their research work.
