FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Upward Bound offers a variety of helpful college prep services to its participating
students. Some of which include: free tutoring for any class, ACT and SAT prep
classes, scholarship and financial aid help, and dual credit hour programs.
Additionally, to make the time a student spends in this program all the more
worth while, participating students earn a money allowance every month.
Beyond this, Upward Bounds hosts various events, such as a mentor program,
weekly lunches, college visits, and a monthly cultural event. In addition, the
program also offers fun Friday trips, as well as a week long out-of-state summer
trip after five weeks of classroom instruction.
All of these resources that are available for students in the Upward Bound
program are very beneficial. Students that go through this program learn the skills
and motivation necessary to move on to higher education.
