The mentor program is restricted to '''EVE University members''' in good standing and you must be a full and participating member of the UNI when you apply for a Mentor. Please note that if you drop from the UNI later during your mentorship, although you may continue to interact with your mentor while you are out of corp (if you mutually decide to do so), the official mentorship will end.
