Upward Bound is one of the eight federally funded TRiO Programs. Our program is 100% funded by a grant by the U.S. Department of Education. Our program holds two, five year, Upward Bound Grants, one for Tacoma and the other for Clover Park. The Tacoma Grant services 105 students who attend Foss, Lincoln or Mt. Tahoma High Schools in the Tacoma School District. This grant is funded at $446,000 per year, totaling $2.23 million over the course of five years.
