Graduate students face many challenges throughout their education. Stress is commonly associated with higher education, which can be related to meeting the demands of a rigorous educational program, as well as demands in their personal and professional lives. The negative impact that stress can have on academic success, emotional well-being, physical health, and mental health is well-demonstrated in research. Educational institutions should provide resources for students that offer various methods of support to guide them through their education. Peer mentorship programs have been found to be effective means to meet this need for students. This capstone project examined the impact of a peer mentorship program on the stress levels of graduate students in an educational doctorate program. The Perceived Stress Scale was used to evaluate stress levels in educational doctorate students before and after the implementation of a peer mentorship program. Survey responses were limited, so could not be generalized to the entire population of students. Results did not indicate a significant decrease in stress after participation in a peer mentorship program but did demonstrate moderate to high levels of stress in many of the respondents.
