Upward Bound prepares students for college. Upward Bound offers instruction to improve a student's chance of being accepted and then of graduating from college. There is no charge for Upward Bound's services. During the school year, classes are in Math and Language Arts. Students receive regular high school credit for all of these classes.
Staff regularly meet with students individually.
During the summer Upward Bound conducts an intensive six seek program on the UW campus. Students take classes in Language Arts, Math, Science, and Art. Classes are from Monday to Friday. Taking classes on campus enables preparatory classes for high school credits. The program pays a stipend, provides lunch allowance and transportation.
