How will this help my career?
Participation in the Frazier Scholars Program builds confidence, professional development skills, and social capital. We utilize our connections in the business world to help our Scholars learn about career pathways, discover opportunities, and secure employment during college and after graduation.  Simply put, becoming a Frazier Scholar enhances your job prospects!

If I am already involved in a mentoring program, what are some other ways that the Frazier Scholar program will benefit me? 
The Frazier Scholars program is not a one size fits all program; we tailor the program to meet the individual needs and interests of our Scholars.  Some students may only utilize scholarship dollars, while other students will seek our help to build social capital in the business world. The most common request from students in the program is help with securing summer internships.
