Who are we?
College Bound is a St. Louis-based college access program. We've partnered with St. Louis Community college to provide comprehensive coaching and support for students who have demonstrated financial, academic, personal, or career-related needs. This is layered with resources students already receive from campus offices and programis like Trio for holistic support.
How does it work?
You commit to regular coaching meetings and small peer group learning settings to help us assess where your greatest needs are. We build a strong relationship with you and provide meaningful direction in ways that help you better understand yourself, your options, and your areas of growth. We pair high-levels of support with consistent, ongoing, and meaningful partnership.
Who is it for?
The College Bound at St. Louis Community College program is looking for:
- Students seeking deep involvement and mentorship with a Specialist to help them accomplish their educational goals
- Students pursuing their first college degree
- Students who are at least partially or fully Pell-eligible
We would love the chance (not required) to work with students who:
- Recently graduated from high school in St. Louis city & closely surrounding areas
- Are attending the Forest Park Campus of STLCC
- Are the first in their family to attend college
What is the purpose?
Our goals are for students to:- Graduate college - our students graduate at at rate of about 4X their peers.
- Prepare for transfer to a four-year college (for General Transfer students)

This comes through goal-directed reflection, planning, habit-building, peer support, and much more. We want you to feel confident and prepare to take on your future!
