Free College Persistence Mentoring Available to NJIT Students

Through the university’s partnership with Strive for College, an online college mentoring platform, NJIT students are invited to participate in a free pilot program over the next year aimed at helping them complete their courses, earn a degree and prepare for living-wage careers after college. Strive On enables students to select a volunteer mentor, from companies that include American Express, Deloitte and EY, and work one-on-one with him/her to choose courses, fill out the FAFSA, pursue scholarships, identify career options based on skills and strengths, and more.

Additionally, the program provides students with access to apply for paid internships and job opportunities with Strive for College’s corporate partners.

Interested students can sign up for Strive On at ustrive.com/students/njit. All communication between students and mentors takes place through the Strive for College platform, and is recorded and monitored to ensure safety.

Please direct any questions to support@striveforcollege.org or to Julie Jacobs, NJIT Strategic Communications, julie.w.jacobs@njit.edu.
