TRIO UPWARD BOUND

The Upward Bound Program serves high school students in 9th-12th grades from five Georgia Counties: Bulloch, Emanuel, Candler, Evans, and Screven. Participants enter in 9th or 10th grade and remain in the program until they graduate from high school. The students participate in a wide variety of activities provided by the staff to help and encourage them to enter a post secondary institution after high schools. The activities include career, personal, and academic counseling, assistance with college admission procedures and financial aid, SAT workshops, scholarshiop information, college tours, tutorial services, as well as a six weeks' campus residential program to expose students to life on a college campus.
