This page, is intended to provide the reader with information about the Upward Bound program at UAM. It is also the intent of this page to provide links to areas of interest to Upward Bound students and members of the TRIO community at large.



 

 

Upward Bound, the oldest of the Federal TRIO Programs , has been a part of the UAM community since 1979. The Upward Bound Program targets low-income high school students who may also be among the first in their family to consider going to college. The project provides intensive academic and personal support designed to motivate and prepare the students for college. Program participants are brought to the UAM campus weekly on alternating Wednesdays and Saturdays during the academic year. In the summer the program hosts a six-week residential component designed to simulate a college-going experience for the participants.

The Upward Bound program is funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Education. The area served by Upward Bound includes ten high schools in the five southeast Arkansas counties of Ashley, Bradley, Chicot, Desha, and Drew.
