Shape Your Path with Purpose

Guidance that grows with each student — sharpening goals, deepening strengths, and building lasting success.

Ongoing Guidance is Trellis Academic’s long-term mentorship program designed to help students develop strong academic and extracurricular profiles in preparation for applying to undergraduate or graduate programs abroad. It is intended specifically for students who are not yet in their application year, but who are preparing in advance — often one to three years ahead of deadlines. Ongoing Guidance gives students the time and mentorship they need to build a compelling personal narrative and sense of purpose well before the application year begins.
