The Regular Upward Bound & Upward Bound Math and Science programs identify and assist individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds who have the potential to succeed in higher education and math/science fields. UB & UBMS programs provides academic support, career mentoring, college advising, and financial aid counseling to participants with the ultimate goal of ensuring they complete high school, and enroll in and complete a program of postsecondary education. Upward Bound programs are 100% funded by the Department of Education. For more information regarding Upward Bound programs and all other TRiO Programs visit the Department of Education website.
