The MINT Program is the only mentorship program at UCSC that supports underrepresented women (e.g., first generation, low income, person of color) in their pursuit of graduate school. The program is designed to be collaborative, providing the scholars with access to resources in order for them to curate a supportive space that will be most valuable in their educational pursuits. MINT pairs each participant with a graduate-student mentor, organizes specifically tailored workshops, and provides a study space, all of which have allowed the scholars to create a nexus of like-minded, driven, and ambitious women.
