UPWARD BOUND


About the Program:

Upward Bound (UB) is a college preparatory program for 120 high school students in grades 9 – 12. Funded by the U.S. Department of Education, UB prepares participants to attend and graduate from college by providing year round academic activities and services. UB offers academic preparation for college through supplemental instruction, after-school tutorials, and a 6-week summer component on the campus of Texas Wesleyan University. Upward Bound provides low-income and potential first generation students with academic advising services; college and career exploration; preparation for college entrance exams; and individual assistance with college admissions and financial aid applications.
