2025 Mentorship Program

The Sloan Sports Analytics Conference Mentorship Program is focused on undergraduate students, graduate students, and those early in their career with an interest in sports. The Sloan Sports Analytics Conference is committed to elevating and broadening inclusion in sports by creating opportunities for those who may not otherwise have access to similar mentorship. Accordingly, we encourage applications from individuals who have experienced challenges in their path, including, for example, students who come from low socioeconomic means, attended institutions with low admittance rates to top-tier colleges, or were the first of their family to attend college, as well as applicants who have devoted substantial time to service advancing diversity and inclusion in their communities.

Applications for the 2025 Mentorship Program will open on October 16, 2025.
