Thank you for taking the time to provide us with information about your student. Upward Bound is a federally funded educational program housed at the Pima Community College’s Downtown Campus. Our program is designed to prepare low-income first-generation students academically and personally for post-secondary education. We work with high school students (grades 9-10) from Amphitheater, Flowing Wells, and Rincon. Students in Upward Bound remain in the program throughout their high school years, and thus, must be committed to participating fully on Saturdays and during the summers. We are looking for students who have the potential to pursue post-secondary education (junior college, college, technical, or trade school) after graduation, but who might not fulfill that potential without a program like Upward Bound. Because we spend federal appropriated dollars on each student, we must evaluate each applicant very carefully. The ideal Upward Bound student is responsible, committed, good attitude towards school, and displays college potential. Our program is completely free for the participants.
The student has applied to participate in the Upward Bound Program. Please provide us with the following information. The information provided will help us determine the student's eligibility to participate in our program.
