The Puertas Network

A scholarship opens a door. A mentor helps navigate what comes next.

Mentorship is intended to be a central part of the Puertas Scholar experience.

Planned mentorship model

The Foundation intends to combine academic and professional mentorship with alumni-to-scholar mentorship as the Puertas network grows.

Academic mentorship

Adjustment to U.S. education, academic planning, and university resources.

Professional mentorship

Career development, networking, interviews, communication, and understanding the professional marketplace.

Mentorship across generations

Over time, Puertas Scholars themselves should become mentors to the women who follow them.

When you are able, open a door for someone else.
