All Minneapolis Public Schools high school students can attend our College Tours. We reserve seats on our busses for students and PS staff only. We do not have capacity to include parent/guardian chaperones on our tours.

No! College Tours are provided at no cost to students. For tours where timing overlaps with lunch or dinner, we provide meals and snacks!

There is a fee charged to students for overnight tours. Project Success offers need-based reduced trip fees for the cost of overnight tours.

We recommend wearing a good pair of shoes as there will be a lot of walking on campus. Check the weather a day or so beforehand and dress for the weather as we will be outside frequently, even in winter! Some students bring water bottles or a small bag with a notebook and pencil to write notes with. For our all-day tours, we recommend bringing a charger for your device as our coach busses have outlets for your use. Before attending in the morning, we highly recommend eating breakfast!

Project Success is dedicated to making these tours accessible to all students. If you have a question or need, please call 612.874.7710 or email Elie at elien@projectsuccess.org.

Our tours are fun, informative, and include admissions presentations, campus tours, lunch, snacks, and Project Success workshops on college topics! Tour-specific details can be found on the individual college tour event page.
