TRIO Upward Bound
Dear Applicant,
Thank you for your interest in the TRIO Upward Bound Program at Miami Dade College, Homestead. TRIO Upward Bound is designed for students with academic potential who need additional preparation and motivation to succeed in high school and later, in college. TRIO Upward Bound Program is a year-round program. The program provides on-going academic preparation, counseling, and enrichment activities.
Eligibility to participate in the program is determined individually. However, each applicant must meet basic eligibility requirements set forth by the federal government. Our Upward Bound Program serves a limited number of students. Therefore, it is important that you complete your application as soon as possible. When space is not available, an applicant may be referred to our waitlist for later consideration.
There is a six-week summer program offered first to students who have participated in the year-round portion, and have sufficient summer attendance and satisfactory grades. The summer program is designed to simulate the experience of attending college. The summer program focuses on academics and enrichment activities.
Below you will find instructions for completing the application process. Applications are accepted and reviewed year-round but students are only accepted if space permits. Once your application is received, you will be notified of your application status. We look forward to you being a part of our family!
All of the information contained in this application will remain confidential by the Miami Dade College Upward Bound staff in determining the eligibility of a student. Students selected for an interview will be contacted by our office.
