About Us
Meet Our Team
Samuel Stulman
FounderSam started at community college as a student athlete, transferred to UC Berkeley to study Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, and went on to become a Software Engineer at Microsoft. He made that path himself, through trial and a lot of persistence. He started North Scholar to give students what he didn't have: real guidance from someone who has made the exact journey they're trying to make.
