What is Upward Bound (UB)Funded by the U.S. Department of Education, Upward Bound is a year-round College Preparatory Program for motivated high school students attending public or charter schools in Philadelphia that:

Promotes and enables academic excellence
Exposes students to colleges and career awareness
Develops leadership skills
Provides students with a six-week summer residential college experience
Encourages positive social interactions with peers and authority figures

Upward Bound offers extensive support to participants in their preparation for college entrance. The program provides opportunities for participants to succeed in their high school courses and co-curricular activities, and ultimately in their higher education pursuits. UB serves high school students from low-income families and/or from families in which neither parent holds a bachelor's degree. Students must have an interest in enrolling in college. The goal of UB is to increase the rate at which participants complete secondary education and enroll in and graduate from institutions of postsecondary education. Upward Bound has been highly successful in achieving its mission of preparing and graduating future college scholars.
