Upward Bound

What is Upward Bound?

A program that serves low-income High School students in order to help them feel more prepared to complete a four-year degree. Upward Bound does this by:

·        Providing experience to our students in a college-like environment. This way, they know they can be successful in college.

·        Providing study skills throughout the high school year

·        Provide tutoring services, upon request

·        Provide career awareness and advisement

·        ACT vouchers for junior and senior years of High School

·        Providing social atmospheres so they may better their social skills

·        Providing an environment and services which fosters future planning.

 There is 2 parts:

1.      school year (weekly meetings, quarterly seminars, parent meetings)

2.      Summer Residential Program (@ Dixie State University in Nisson Dorms)
