Upward Bound is a federally funded college preparatory program that offers assistance to low-income and first-generation, college-bound high school students. The focus of Upward Bound is to develop skills needed for postsecondary education and to help its graduates enter and stay in college working toward a four-year degree.
Upward Bound is a part of the U.S. Department of Education's initiative to address critical national needs and support our mission of increasing access to quality postsecondary education.
