Upward Bound
Upward Bound is one of eight Federal TRIO Programs (TRIO). Upward Bound provides fundamental
support to participants in their preparation for college entrance. The program provides
opportunities for participants to succeed in their precollege 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.
