Mentorship Program Application

 

Thank you for your interest in being a mentee in the mentorship program! 

STEMinist Empowered was born from Dr. Grayson's own experiences in academia and industry as a Black woman in STEM. Not seeing representation in the spaces she entered, she was motivated to create a space to empower, support, and encourage women of color who are pursuing graduate degrees. Her goal is to increase the pipeline of women of color, especially black women graduating with advanced degrees, by providing mentorship, community, and resources. 

The goal of the program is to engage, empower, and retain WOC who are pursuing Graduate degrees by providing:

  • Career Planning and Professional Development

  • Tools and training to navigate as a WOC in a graduate setting

  • Exposure to experts in advocacy, branding, networking, and entrepreneurship

  • Connection to women from a variety of institutions for communing and peer support

The program will be composed of monthly cohort meetings during the following time: 

Time: 7:30 PM EST to 9:00 PM EST; Date: TBD

Monthly 1:1 mentorship meetings will be determined based on your schedule. 

PLEASE NOTE: Our 2025 Cohort Applications are now closed, and any new applications will be rolled over for the 2026 Cohort beginning in January 2026.
