Upward Bound
is a federally funded
TRIO program. Through
academic, cultural, and social experiences it prepares
Youngstown
East and
Youngstown Chaney high school students (low income and potential
first generation college students) for success in college. Toward this
effort, we have designed an enriching program to meet the academic and
social needs of our participants.
Upward Bound at
Youngstown State University has an overall college-going rate of 95%,
The
program is funded to serve 50 students who are recruited as 9th or 10th
graders. Visit the "Who is Eligible" page for further information.
The administrative staff at Upward Bound has worked
diligently to create a positive and stimulating learning environment that
accurately reflects the goals of the program. The overall goal of Upward
Bound is to increase the rates at which under-represented students enroll and
graduate from college. We achieve this goal by providing intensive academic
instruction, counseling, and workshops. Students will also attend cultural
and community activities promoting awareness of themselves, others, and
their environment.
The offices of Upward Bound are located on the
Youngstown State University campus in Jones Hall.
