Upward Bound (UB)
Upward Bound is a pre-college program for low-income and first-generation high school students. The program helps these students enter and successfully complete college. Students take classes to help them build a strong foundation for their high school years and are also provided tutors throughout the school year, career development labs, college application assistance, academic and personal counseling, social and cultural activities, and college tours. The students are nurtured with great care to become strong, self-confident, disciplined, and responsible persons for college and for life.
Upward Bound Math & Science (UBMS)
Upward Bound Math Science is a similar program to Upward Bound, but is designed for students who have a serious interest in math or science careers. UBMS offers specialized math, science, writing, and technology classes to its students.
