Upward Bound is one of the oldest Trio Programs, it is a highly successful college based program of rigorous academic instruction, individual tutoring and counseling for low-income, disadvantaged high school students most of whom are the first generation of their families to consider post-`secondary education. During the summer, Upward Bound students live on the college campus for five-six weeks and are involved in an intensive academic study program with an emphasis on English, mathematics, science, reading and writing. During the academic year, Upward Bound students receive academic instruction, tutoring and counseling after school. Counselors follow their progress in high school and the students learn about the college application process and how to apply for student’s financial assistance.
