Parent Certification and Policies
To remind parents, and in accordance with government policies, Upward Bound is required to gather information concerning each member’s academic progress while in high school as well as enrollment status, financial aid assistance, and academic progress while in college. Additionally, a school transcript is necessary to determine eligibility for the program. The Family Education Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 makes it necessary for Upward Bound to obtain permission from a parent or guardian of a student who is under the age of 18 in order for educational institutions to release this information to Upward Bound.
