No, students from all faculties and academic backgrounds are encouraged to apply to the Mentorship Program.

We are looking for students who have a strong passion for sport- make sure this comes through in your application. Successful students are those who we see would clearly benefit from a connection with a mentor. Essentially, we want to see that we can help you achieve a career goal by providing a contact in the sports industry. Conversely, we are looking for dedicated students who are willing to put in the time and effort to make the partnership fulfilling for the Mentor.

MSMC Executives review your application materials- that is, the form and the interview- to gauge which Mentor would best suit your goals and interests. It is a careful process so as to make sure the partnership is beneficial both for the Mentor and the Mentee.

Although previous experience with sports managment does demonstrate a passion for the industry, we welcome applicants with or without experience in the field. The Mentorship Program is meant to provide a connection in sports management to help students start their career. Thus, it can be a great starting point for people who have no prior experience in sports management.

It is ok if you don`t know exactly which area of sports managment you want to pursue- that is what the Program is for! You can check off multiple areas on the application form or you can indicate a sport that you are especially interested in.

You get out of the Mentorship Program what you give. In other words, the amount of time and effort that you choose to invest will determine how much you benefit from the program. Executives on our team who previously participated in Mentorship indicate that they spent around 2 hours a week maximum working on their projects.
