Overview
Upward Bound is federally funded through the U.S. Department of Education's TRIO program. It was created primarily to provide fundamental support to low-income high school students; students whose parents have not completed a bachelor's degree; and low-income, first-generation students, as they prepare to enter college.
SMCC provides participants with academic instruction in mathematics, laboratory sciences, composition, literature, and foreign languages. Also included: tutoring, counseling, mentoring, cultural enrichment, SAT/ACT preparation, and work-study programs. In addition, they will spend one week on the campus of Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff. Also, participants have the opportunity to earn college credit.
The teens will attend SMCC on weekends throughout the fall and spring semesters. During summers, they will take elective courses at the college. Students will be grouped according to their grade level and the curriculum will be designed according to individual graduation requirements.
