Upward Bound

Upward Bound (UB) is a federal TRiO Program providing educational services and college preparatory assistance to high school students who are from disadvantaged background and/or will be first-generation college graduates.

Mission

Upward Bound is designed to increase the retention and graduation rates of high school students who are low-income or first-generation college students (parents have not earned a 4-year college degree). Upward Bound provides services to students to develop academic, social, and life-long learning skills necessary to graduate from high school and college.
