Fernandez Fellowship Program

The Fernandez Fellowship Program assigns Lead Now graduates a professional mentor who guides students through their college experience. Mentors are selected based on students’ academic interest. Students attend workshops to continue their leadership training in their respective professional fields. Internship opportunities are also available as part of students’ experiential learning.
