During the Academic Year, St. Olaf College Upward Bound staff provide tutoring and advising services at target school sites. During the school day, Upward Bound staff members are available to students for tutoring, meeting with teachers and counselors, advising, helping with college applications and financial aid, and giving personal assistance.

After school, Upward Bound full-time staff are joined by St. Olaf College students who provide tutorial services.

Tutors can assist students in a variety of subjects and are wonderful role models! Many Upward Bound tutors are also TRiO/Upward Bound alums.

The Academic Year also includes monthly MANDATORY seminars that allow Upward Bound students to focus on certain topics. Seminars helping students to prepare for the ACT Assessment, complete college applications, research careeers, and plan for college are offered during the academic year.
