Upward Bound provides fundamental support to participants in their preparation for college entrance. The program provides opportunities for participants to succeed in their pre-college 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 Upward Bound aim for a bachelor's degree. Upward Bound aims to increase the rate at which participants complete secondary education and enroll in and graduate from institutions of postsecondary education. The Upward Bound Math/Science program, while holding to the guidelines and principles of Upward Bound, provides an extra focus on introducing and immersing students in the STEM fields by providing summer research opportunities and career exploration within the STEM fields.
