Overview
Who We Serve
Upward Bound serves first-generation and low-income college-bound students in Shawnee, Douglas, Leavenworth and Wyandotte counties.
What We Do
Students meet monthly with advisors at their high schools, work with tutors on school assignments, attend campus visits and a variety of Campus Experience Institutes. In the summer, students participate in an intensive six-week academic program that gives participants a chance to experience college life.
"I like how Upward Bound focuses on both aspects for an individual and it can really help someone find what they want to do or find who they are.”
