Upward Bound is a federally funded program that helps first-generation students (meaning parents did not earn a 4-year degree) develop the skills and motivation necessary to continue onto college. Through this program, participants receive tutoring, can be involved in cultural events, get help with college preparation, financial aid, scholarships, and career development. Check with your counselor to see if you can participate.
