 | | Upward Bound supports Seattle high school students in their preparation for college entrance by providing tutorial support, classroom instruction, academic/ personal counseling, mentoring as well as college preparation assistance with applications, scholarship searches, financial aid and more. |
 | | Upward Bound also seeks to strengthen student commitment to the lifelong pursuit of learning, social development, and community involvement which, we believe, will lead to a more meaningful, well-rounded, and productive life. |
 | | Upward Bound, as one of the TRIO programs, was established by the federal government in 1965 to ensure equal educational opportunity for all Americans, regardless of race, ethnic background, or economic circumstance. |
