Our Team

SNAAP is a volunteer-run organization initiated and run by Stanford University graduate students, post-doctoral scholars, and staff.

We pride ourselves on having a robust team of mentors in our network who work closely with our mentees on their graduate applications and in providing helpful advice for navigating the application process.
