Dear Applicant,
Thank you for your interest in the Upward Bound Programs at Florida Atlantic University. Upward Bound and Upward Bound Math & Science are federal programs designed to help students with academic potential who need additional preparation and motivation to prepare for, enter, and succeed in college. The programs provide ongoing academic support, counseling, post-secondary preparation, cultural enrichment activities, and a UBMS summer bridge program - all at no cost to the students or the school! The Upward Bound Programs are year-round programs.
Eligibility to participate in the program is determined individually. However, each applicant must meet basic eligibility requirements set forth by the federal government, that require neither parent to have a four-year college degree and family’s income level verification. Our program is open to students who are entering grades 9, 10, 11 & 12. FAU Upward Bound Programs have limited space available. Therefore, it is important that you complete your application as soon as possible. In the event there is no program space availability, an approved student will be placed on a waiting list for later consideration.
There is six-week summer enrichment including a one-week residential program. UB participants have an opportunity to take academic preparation courses in Math, Language Arts, Science, and Foreign Languages, Co-Curricular Workshops, and Summer Bridge Program (UBMS) ONLY. For more information, please call our office.
Below you will find instructions for completing the application process. Once your application is received, you will be notified of your application status. We look forward to serving you!
Sincerely,
Pamela King, Director of Upward Bound Programs
