Welcome

REAL Upward Bound is a federally funded college preparatory program which serves 50 students in grades 9-12 from the Springdale and Rogers school districts. The mission of REAL is to prepare and motivate high school students to pursue and complete a baccalaureate degree. Services are designed to develop the essential skills, study habits and discipline necessary for success in high school and college. Students commit to the program until graduation from high school and participate in both a six-week summer residential component and an academic year component. Being curriculum-based, the program provides exposure to a wide variety of academic, cultural and social opportunities simulating a college experience. REAL bridge students who have completed their senior year of high school receive free tuition for up to six credit! hours during the summer component.
