Information about the Upward Bound Program
The Upward Bound Program is one of eight TRIO programs funded by the U.S. Department of Education.Upward Bound is an academic pre-college initiative designed to prepare low-income/first generation high school students for success in higher education.
The purpose of the Mid America Association of Educational Opportunity Program Personnel shall be to bring together into a work and study community those persons who have an active interest in or who are professionally involved in broadening accessibility to and success in formal postsecondary education. Although The Association will have a broad base of student concern, it will be particularly concerned about those students who by reason of socioeconomic station, ethnic definition, physical handicap and/or restricted cultural educational experiences find themselves in a position of disadvantage with traditional mainstream American students.
