Bound is a college-prep support program for high school students funded by
the US Dept. of Education as one of the federal TRIO programs. It provides
fundamental support to participants in their preparation for college entrance.
The program provides opportunities for participants to succeed in their pre-college
performance and ultimately in their higher education pursuits. Upward Bound
serves: high school students from low-income families; and high school students
from families in which neither parent holds a bachelor's degree. The goal
of Upward Bound is to increase the rate at which participants complete secondary
education and enroll in and graduate from institutions of postsecondary education. |
