Upward Bound Classic focuses its student programming on a wide variety of college and career planning activities throughout the entire year.

As a federally funded , Upward Bound at the University of 花季视频 Fort 花季视频 may only serve students in grades 9 鈥� 12 who meet specific eligibility requirements and attend one of the eight area target schools served by the program.

Interested students can request an application during the annual Upward Bound recruitment period (August-October) by contacting their school counselor or the Upward Bound office directly. Please see the Upward Bound application process for more information or connect with a member of the UB staff.

Eligible applicants are selected based on a combination of criteria including, application, teacher recommendations, grades, need for the program, interview, and student commitment.

There is absolutely no cost to join and participate. As a federally funded TRIO program, all Upward Bound services are FREE for participants including tutoring, instruction, field trips, ACT prep courses, and all costs associated with the Summer Academy and Upward Bound Bridge program.

Students are expected to fully participate in the academic year and summer components of the program until graduation from high school. In addition, students are required to adhere to all Upward Bound rules and guidelines and exhibit appropriate behavior at all program sponsored events and activities.
