      Together, Carpe Diem and Carpe Mundi support greater Portland, OR students from low-income families to earn a year of highly-mentored college credit and embark on an experiential college semester. Carpe Diem provides the office and facilities for Carpe Mundi, as well as provides every Carpe Mundi student a significant scholarship to make the experience financially accessible. Carpe Mundi fundraises to provide mentorship and scholarship funds, in addition to Carpe Diem\u2019s, so that students can focus on their personal growth and completing their college coursework.\u00a0 Carpe Mundi's two primary gap year partners are Carpe Diem and Where There Be Dragons, and\u00a0they recruit students from a number of local Portland organizations and schools, most notably TRIO and Future Connect at Portland Community College.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Carpe Mundi\u2019s model is effective because it doesn't stop at scholarships, Carpe Mundi provides students with a year of mentorship and a supportive peer learning cohort, before and after their international semester, so that students have support in navigating any barriers that may arise that could compromise their ability to travel and have a fulfilling experience. On average, a Carpe Mundi student receives 130 hours of mentorship and group-time before and after their international experience. Carpe Mundi\u2019s goal is to empower students from low-income backgrounds to reach their full potential through international learning experiences and mentorship. In a recent survey, 91% of Carpe Mundi alumni said that after participating in Carpe Mundi they are more motivated and empowered to pursue their goals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
