A mentoring event has been held for the Crown Prince’s International Scholarship Programme (CPISP) candidates to help them prepare for the next milestone in their academic and professional journeys.
Organised in collaboration with the Crown Prince’s International Scholarship Programme Alumni Association (CPISPAA), the event was held at the Bahrain Institute for Banking and Finance.
Candidates received guidance on formulating college application plans, navigating their senior year and selecting suitable majors and career paths.
More than 100 professionals and students attended the event.
The day began with information sessions on applying to universities abroad, as well as the importance of having alternative university and scholarship options. This was followed by five interactive sessions covering topics such as standardised test preparation, writing strong university application essays and life after school and university.
All students were also given the opportunity to meet one-on-one with mentors to get personalised advice about their specific university and career plans.
The event continued with a majors and careers fair, where more than 40 mentors introduced candidates to the specifics of their respective majors and career paths. Sessions were held for various sectors, including computer science, medicine, engineering, business and humanities. Over the past seven years, the CPISPAA has provided more than 1,000 one-on-one advisory meetings through the mentoring programme in addition to other tailored initiatives.
