Middle Earth Peer Assistance Program Application

Middle Earth Peer Assistance Program Application
We accept applications for Hotline Assistants and Peer Wellness Ambassadors each semester.

Please visit the Middle Earth Peer Assistance Program webpage for more information about our program.

Deadlines

Applications are due on November 15 for spring semester training or on April 15 for fall semester training.

Selections are made toward the end of each semester, then training classes begin for the following semester and last for the entire term.

Eligibility

All registered undergraduate students are eligible to apply.

We encourage applicants with an at least 3.0 GPA to apply; however, applicants with a GPA less than 3.0 will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

Additionally, we do not accept applications from students who plan to graduate next semester, as our program requires a two-semester commitment.
