Holistic Considerations

Please keep in mind that you are concurrently assessing the project’s merit and the student’s potential learning experience—a question of fit and a plan for success. In addition to the criteria below, we encourage you to take holistic considerations into account.

Questions to Consider

  • Do the student and mentor have a strong working relationship or plan to develop their ability to collaborate?
  • Does the student have ownership of the proposed work or state objectives that will enable them to engage their field?

Proposals supported by strong working relationships

  • show students and mentors “on the same pageâ€
  • outline appropriately scaled projects with a reasonable plan
  • accurately communicate contributions to the larger field
