Upward Bound
TRIO Upward Bound is a federally funded program aimed at preparing and motivating high school students for success in post-secondary education. The program helps strengthen students' academic skills, supports personal growth, increases post-secondary and career options, and aids students in staying focused on their educational goals.
All program services are free, but a serious commitment from the student and family is expected.
