What Makes the Program So Important?

During the past 58 years, Upward Bound has served over 4,000 students. Students who have completed Upward Bound are three times more likely to attain a Bachelor's degree than other low-income, first-generation students. Yearly, 85-100% of Upward Bound Program graduates enroll in a 4-year institution or  college immediately after high school graduation. The students receive personal help and assistance which they would not ordinarily  receive from the public school system. About 80% of high school dropouts are from low-income families. The program changes student lives.
