Introduction
Each year, the Lampe Foundation supports education by awarding heritage scholarships to local high school students and designated awards in various levels and fields of study. These areas include vocational training, health care and leadership from the vocational levels to the post secondary level. We welcome your participation as a mentor, a person who can provide advice, encouragement, and guidance to the specific award winner. The purpose of this Guide, in conjunction with The Guide for Lampe Foundation Award Winners is to provide information on achieving a successful and productive partnership. Both guides plus the listings of scholarships and their requirements are accessible by consulting the top bar of the homepage of www.lampefoundation.org.
The purpose and benefits of being a mentor
We define mentoring as a partnership. Each partner has a role and both need jointly to invest in the
relationship in order to get the most from it. For the mentor the relationship provides the meaningful
opportunity to share their knowledge and experiences with a person who wishes to benefit from this
exchange. It also provides the opportunity to acquaint yourself with upcoming talent and learn from them.
Steps in the Mentoring Relationship
The Committee members appreciate your participation in this important educational experience and would
value receiving any comments on how we could improve the procedure.
