Academic Year

Benewah & Latah County Upward Bound offers a variety of pre-college services throughout the academic year.  Each school is served by a Community Outreach Coordinator, who works one-on-one with scholars to set goals and implement strategies for academic success. 

Benewah & Latah County Upward Bound scholars are the future leaders and stewards of their communities.  In order to foster leadership skill building and connect scholars with community members and organizations, Upward Bound offers opportunities to engage in community service projects throughout the academic year and summer.  Community Outreach Coordinators also work with scholars to determine how best to reflect their service on their applications for college and scholarships, as well as their resumes. 

One of Benewah & Latah County Upward Bound primary goals is to help scholars choose a college or university that is the right fit personally, financially and academically (all are important).  Upward Bound attempts to offer two college tours during the academic year, depending upon availability of funding.  College tours provide access to a variety of colleges and universities, including public, private, rural and urban.
