 participants</h2><p>"Thank you very much for offering this program! I have 
 learned lots from my mentor\, and we had great times chatting. The workshop
 s were also very helpful and informative. Especially the online option and 
 recordings\, which provide much more flexibility. I feel much more confiden
 t and prepared to prepare for my graduate studies."</p><p>"I got to learn a
 dditional information on applying for scholarship as well as finding opport
 unities outside for a gap year which are extremely useful. I also got inspi
 red a lot by hearing about other mentors journey and felt grateful for any 
 tips they gave about the application process."</p><p>"I loved the opportuni
 ty to be a part of this program and have tremendous gratitude for my mentor
 \, their kindness and the guidance\, direction and opportunities I was pres
 ented with."</p><p>"One of the benefits I experienced in this program is th
 at I could find a mentor who studied the same topics that interest me and s
 hares a similar diverse background with me. We can both talk about exciting
  research topics\, and I can get advice about grad school"</p><p>"As an int
 ernational student\, I feel very satisfied that programs such as this exist
 . In Latin America\, it is very difficult to find mentors to help apply to 
 graduate school\, but this program has been extremely helpful. Thank you\, 
 and I hope that more students can benefit from this."</p>
