The WDS Mentorship Grant Awards Program is to promote the concept of mentorship within the WDS by establishing long-term relationships between mentors and their protégés. This year, the program has been expanded thanks to an annual educational grant from Dermik Laboratories, which will allow increased funding for a larger number of applicants than ever before. Dermik raised their level of support from $50,000 to $75,000 for the 2004 Mentorship Award Program.
The purpose of the award is to develop mentoring relationships that might not otherwise be possible due to distance or funding availability. The program helps develop leadership potential in candidates who have shown early promise through exceptional activities.
Program Mission and Goals:
- To promote the concept of mentorship within the WDS.
- To establish long-term relationships between mentors and their protégés.
- To promote projects with a clearly discernible plan supporting career development.
Program Requirements:
- All applicants must be members of WDS (may be in the application process).
- Protégé must attend the WDS Annual Luncheon to receive the award.
- Each mentor can have a maximum of two protégé applications.
How to Get Started:
- Choose a mentor. Ask for a letter and commitment for an agreed-upon time frame.
- Get a letter of support from your chairperson and arrange for the necessary vacation or covered time in your program.
