Hello! Miiyu! Hola!

Upward Bound Mission Statement

The purpose of the Upward Bound Project (UB) is to identify eligible youths who are from low-income and potential first-generation college students. UB will encourage project participants to remain and complete high school while setting higher standards for a college education. Furthermore, UB will provide the necessary tools to prepare students to enroll and succeed in college.

 

Students in Upward Bound at ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ will be encouraged to:

  • Develop and improve academic skills
  • Successfully graduate from high school and enroll in postsecondary education
  • Explore and develop career choices
  • Be motivated to reach their educational goals
