Stanford Application Assistance Mentor Interest Form
In 2019 and 2020, neuroscience graduate students at several programs across the country (NYU, MIT and Princeton to name a few) started application assistance mentorship programs to help prospective graduate students through the process of applying to PhD programs. 

Inspired by these programs, we started SNAAP in 2020. Over the years, we have offered 1-on-1 interview and application review services as well as general information on demystifying the process of applying to Stanford program and graduate school in general. 
___ 

We recognize that there is an implicit knowledge gap and an inequity in access to resources amongst students from differing backgrounds applying to graduate school. We hope that working 1-on-1 with someone who has experience in the process can bridge this gap at the crucial juncture of the application stage. Inspired by application assistance programs nationwide and at other universities, the Stanford neuroscience community wants to provide a similar service.

The Stanford Neuroscience Application Assistance Program (SNAAP) intends to contribute to the diversification of academic science through recruitment of talented researchers from historically underrepresented and disadvantaged backgrounds. Our goal is to address disparities in access to critical information, resources, and mentorship.

SNAAP is currently going through a restructuring process, but if you're interested in becoming a mentor in some capacity for the 2023-2024 application cycle, please fill out this form! We will be in touch soon.

Best,
Emma Costa and Josh Head (on behalf of SNAAP)
