Step 1: Confirm Eligibility and Regulations

As a Notable Narrative mentee, you must agree to the following eligibility and regulatory requirements:

  • I am a low-income and/or first-generation high school senior who is determined to apply to college during the fall semester of my senior year.
  • I accept sole responsibility for being responsive to Notable Narrative mentors with essay edits and meeting all specified deadlines assigned to me. If I cannot meet an assigned deadline, I will make sure to contact a Notable Narrative mentor within 48 hours prior to my deadline.
  • I accept that if I fail to contact a Notable Narrative mentor within 48 hours prior to my assigned essay edit deadline, I will first receive a warning; a second offense will lead to my expulsion from the Notable Narratives program. Additionally, I acknowledge that Notable Narratives retains the right to dismiss me from the program at any time.
  • I acknowledge that I do not need to have a rough draft of my college essay(s) to receive assistance from Notable Narratives as they will help in any stage of the college essay process.
  • I understand that Notable Narrative mentors will only help me edit my college essays, which is not limited to: brainstorming, outlining, and editing/proofreading. However, I am aware that Notable Narrative mentors will only help me with one essay at a time and will consider providing other services to aid me in attaining future success.
  • I understand that Notable Narratives DOES NOT guarantee admissions/acceptance into a school nor financial aid/scholarships for a school as Notable Narratives is simply a support resource for U.S. colleges and universities.
