- Ask yourself which projects you are the most excited or curious about exploring? The project descriptions, learning objectives and outcomes, and any additional information or links on the project page may give you some insight.
- Ask yourself which projects are a better fit for your profile and align with your strength. Be sure to read about the educational level and skills required or desired to evaluate if you are qualified.
- Lastly, we expect mentees to be able to contribute ~20 hours a week on a consistent basis from June to November. Please make sure the program timeline and schedule will fit into your schedule and other academic, professional, or personal commitments.

ask questions
We encourage you to contact the Hyperledger Foundation staff and the mentors if you have questions about the program and/or the mentorship projects themselves.
- If your questions are about the program in general or the application process please contact mentorship@hyperledger.org
- If you would like to clarify any technical aspects about a project, please join Hyperledger Discord and ask your questions on the corresponding project public channels.
- Please be thoughtful with your questions and be respectful of the time it may take for the maintainers to respond to your questions.
- Public discussions benefit all who may be interested in the project and it helps efficiently address questions many others may have. This is the open source way that we encourage applicants to adhere to.
This step is optional. Feel free to contact the mentor(s) for the projects that you are interested in to learn more and to clarify any information that's unclear to you.
- You may be able to discover more about the desirable background and skills of the mentee the mentor(s) are looking to work with.
- We have learned that the best applications are often from those who take the time to interact and discuss their ideas with the mentors before submitting an application.
- But be thoughtful with your questions as our mentors may be receiving a large volume of questions from interested applicants. If your questions are about the program in general or the application process please contact mentorship@hyperledger.org
