Who is eligible to be a part of MYLA?MYLA aims to give a platform to students who are members of underserved minority groups. Black, Latinx, Native American, and Pacific Islander populations have been historically underrepresented in higher education. Students who are members of these minority groups are eligible receive assistance from MYLA.
-
How does the process work?After submitting the student registration form, our team will review your application to determine what MYLA can best offer you. Based on your needs and personality, we will match you to a personalized advisor. You can always request to change your personal advisor.
-
What is the role of an advisor?MYLA Advisors are role models who help guide younger students through their education. Because they are members of underrepresented minority groups, they understand the obstacles that minority students face in finding opportunities and can better relate to students. Our advisors offer services such as tutoring, mentoring, and oratory coaching. They also support and motivate students so they know there is someone looking out for them.
-
What types of classes are available?MYLA primarily offers one-on-one sessions with a personalized advisor, which can last anywhere between 30 minutes to 1 hour. However, we also plan to offer group advising and special workshops in the near future. MYLA is currently expanding its offerings based on student interest and advisor availability.
-
Do MYLA advisors get paid?MYLA wants to provide free services to underrepresented students and don't require them to pay tuition fees. Therefore, we want to make sure that prospective advisors are aware that as a tutor/mentor for MYLA, they won’t be getting paid. There are various tutoring organizations that will pay, but MYLA is not one of them.
