Mentor/Protege Application Procedures

This location offers information concerning, and templates and examples of, the Mentor/Protégé application cover letter and agreement. Your use of these templates will enable us to provide quicker response times through application standardization and by eliminating our need to reformat your applications prior to approval.

Prior to beginning the application process, the protégé should:

• Communicate with your Business Opportunity Specialist (BOS) (by phone or email) to discuss program requirements, as well as your specific concerns.
• Copy the cover letter and agreement templates and use them as the basis for your cover letter and agreement.

The first six paragraphs of the agreement template must be used verbatim.

The remaining agreement template text may be modified to suit individual situations.

The presentation of the information contained in the numbered paragraphs must follow the template. Use numbered paragraph 12 (and beyond) to address any other provisions not included in the preceding paragraphs.

Please provide the following documents to your Business Development Specialist:

• Mentor/Protege Agreement Template
• Mentor/Protege Checklist
