Upward Bound

Creating Pathways to College

Our programs are successful because of the dedicated and constant support we provide our students. Each school is staffed daily with Upward Bound professionals who meet with students regularly providing academic advising, assisting with college and scholarship applications and leading after school tutoring and workshops. This level of support keeps our students on track for college success.
