Students will be tracked for six years to monitor progression and successful completion of their post-secondary education.

Application process:

Once we receive your application, it will be reviewed and your transcripts will be requested. Next, we will schedule interviews with you and your parents/guardians. Following the interviews, you will receive a letter of acceptance/denial or be placed on a waiting list. All new students and parents must attend the new student orientation in March. New students are recruited during the fall semester each year based upon the availability of space in our program.

You can obtain an Upward Bound application from an Upward Bound staff member visiting your school, your high school counselor or your student advocate. You may also download an application from our web site.
