SU: Upward Bound program receives more than $11M to continue programming for high school students

Posted By: Kennedy Williams on September 29, 2022

The Upward Bound program at Southern University, part of the U.S. Department of Education, recently received more than $11 million in federal funding this cycle for projects designed for high school students who are identified as potential first-generation college students. The funding allows five projects to begin and three projects to continue. Programming includes �classic� Upward Bound services, including tutoring, college counseling, financial aid literacy, on-campus residential opportunities, and more. STEM disciplines are also underscored. All projects are funded for five years, excluding indirect costs.

Upward Bound provides fundamental support to participants in their preparation for college entrance. The program provides opportunities for participants to succeed in their precollege 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 which neither parent holds a bachelor's degree. The goal of Upward Bound is to increase the rate at which participants complete secondary education and enroll in and graduate from institutions of postsecondary education.

For more information about the Upward Bound Program at Southern University, contact Camacia Smith-Ross, executive director for pre-college and outreach programs, at camacia_smith-ross@subr.edu
