School Year Activities

During the school year, Upward Bound will help you improve your academic success in high school. From September to May, Upward Bound participants are required to attend a minimum of two hours of tutoring each week. Under the direction of the Upward Bound staff, Northern Michigan University students tutor Upward Bound participants in all academic areas. Upward Bound staff members also conduct monthly workshops in such areas as study skills, test anxiety, career exploration, college awareness and ACT preparation.

"My tutor is great and whatever I need help in, he is definitely going to attempt to try and if he doesn't know, he figures it out.  Even when we discuss things besides school, he is someone that I would trust and go to advice for."
