Successful student applicants will receive a $500 award for participating in the program, which is graciously sponsored by ISACA’s Toronto Chapter. This award will be paid upon the successful completion of the program.
The mentorship program Manager, in consultation with mentors or other faculty members (as necessary), will evaluate the suitability of the applications and determine the number of successful applicants, subject to funding constraints and eligibility criteria.
Applications will be accepted at the beginning of the Fall and Winter term in any given year. Fall (Winter) applications must be submitted by the second Wednesday of September (January) to be considered for that term.
Students and mentors are welcome to discuss a mentorship between deadline dates and resulting applications will be considered at the next deadline (e.g., an application can be submitted in October and will be considered for the following January deadline).
As the program is subject to funding restrictions, the number of available positions each term will vary. Further, while all SAF students are eligible to apply, priority will be given to upper-year students, students who are not Fellows in the Fellowship Program, students who have not completed this or a similar mentorship program in a previous semester, or students who have otherwise not had opportunities to gain deeper exposure to academic research and teaching.
Students who are not accepted into the program in a given term due to capacity restrictions will have the option to have their name included for consideration in a future term if so desired.
