Welcome

Upward Bound offers challenging pre-college experiences to students of high academic ability. Services are designed to develop the essential skills, study habits, and discipline necessary for success in high school and college. The project serves 71 students, in grades 9-12, from participating schools in Benton and Washington counties. Participants commit to the program until high school graduation and participate in both a six-week summer residential program 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. Upward Bound students completing their senior year of high school receive free tuition for up to six hours of college credit.
