Upward Bound

The Upward Bound Program is designed to improve the academic performance and increase the educational motivation levels of 150 low-income high school students who have the potential to become the first in their families to attend a college or university. 

 

The Program goals include providing academic support that will help the participants successfully complete their secondary school programs and enroll in an institution of higher learning. 

 

Upward Bound services and activities serve as an educational foundation upon which students can grow academically, mentally, physically, socially, and emotionally in order for them to properly adjust to an educational program.   Services are provided in the form of academic and enrichment classes, counseling, cultural activities, seminars, and workshops.
