Mentorship Program
Cornerstone Education offers high school students in Indonesia with a one-on-one mentorship program, where students intending to apply to college abroad get bespoke advice from a current or former college-abroad student who are aligned to their passions or interests.
Through the mentorship program, students gain a better understanding of what it means to study college abroad, and are able to truly excel throughout their college application process in a way that leverages their own unique voices.
Applications for both mentors and mentees open on August 10, 2020!

Mentorship Mechanics:
Applications to be a Cornerstone mentee are open to current Grade 11 and 12 (third-year to fourth-year high school) students studying in Indonesia studying abroad.
Applications to be a Cornerstone mentor are open to anyone who has graduated high school, is attending / has attended college abroad, and is knowledgeable about the international college admissions process.
Mentor and mentee applications are open until 11:59PM on October 9, 2020. Decisions will be released on October 19, 2020 via email.
Mentorship pairings are conducted by a dedicated team to ensure that mentees are paired with their best-fit mentors. As Cornerstone’s mentorship program is meant to last all the way through to the mentee’s high school graduation, a plethora of factors are taken into account in the pairing process. Both mentees and mentors are screened, and your application does not guarantee that you will become part of this year’s mentorship program. We hope that you take the time to apply to this mutually beneficial program that may, quite literally, change the course of your life.
