Scholar Mentoring + Access to Resources and Training (SMART) is a flexible online program designed to grow with our students as they transition from college to career. From overcoming freshman jitters to securing that dream job, SMART provides our Scholars with the tools necessary to succeed in college today and thrive in the workplace tomorrow.
All APIA Scholars
Our scholarships are the first investment into a student’s success. SMART is the second. All incoming APIA Scholars are enrolled in this program, receive monthly support emails, and are provided access to the network and resources the SMART program has to offer.
- APIA Scholars who are active in the SMART Program will learn to:
- Effectively navigate the landscape of higher education and campus resources;
- Implement skills and competencies for a successful career exploration and job search; and
- Develop national contacts and resources to grow their networks
Mentoring + Resources
Student needs vary over the course of their college experience and career transition. SMART meets these diverse needs with a suite of resources:
- An online community of peer and professional mentors invested in the success of APIA students and rising professionals
- Monthly support emails tailored to the student’s networking successes and challenges
- Monthly webinars that empower students with the academic and professional knowledge to succeed in college and beyond
