How many students can I work with?

Most mentors start with around 4 students at the outset, then move up or down depending on their performance, availability, and Springboard’s enrollments. Our current policy allows between 1–6 students during the first three months, then up to a maximum of 8 students after the initial 3-month period.

In some cases, mentors may be approved to take on more than 8 students if they demonstrate excellent performance and long-term tenure with Springboard.

Please note that capacity increases are also subject to our current needs. When student enrollments are low and overall mentor capacity exceeds demand, requests for capacity increases may not be approved, even if you meet the performance and tenure criteria, since they would not result in additional student matches.

If you’d like to request a capacity increase, please submit your request through your dashboard.
