Ally Program

This is a unique opportunity to be mentored by a BYU professor or staff member who is also a first-generation college graduate. You’ll meet regularly to share your experiences, receive guidance, and gain valuable insights from someone who has walked a similar path.
Watch for an email from First-Year Experience towards the beginning of each semester that gives you an opportunity to be a part of this program during your first-year. If you have any questions, you can contact us, at FYE@byu.edu
