Upward Bound

Upward Bound is a federally funded program designed to support high school students from low-income families or those who are the first in their family to attend college. It provides academic assistance, tutoring, college preparation, and mentoring to help students succeed in high school and prepare for higher education. The goal is to increase students' chances of attending and completing college by strengthening their skills, confidence, and motivation. Typically, participants engage in summer programs, after-school sessions, and ongoing support throughout high school to achieve their post-secondary education goals.
