Indiana University is connecting with students and families across the state to support equitable access to quality education, educational resources, and social-emotional support. In 2016, the IUPUI Office of Community Engagement was awarded a grant funded by Serve Indiana to provide free tutoring, mentoring, and college/career readiness workshops to students in grades 6-12. Services are delivered in-person, via online conferencing, and by telephone to ensure all students and their parent/caregivers have equitable access. In total, seven IU campuses (East, Southeast, Northwest, South Bend, Kokomo, Bloomington and IUPUI) serve over 2,200 students from rural, urban and suburban communities during the school year and summer.
