How To Join Upward Bound

Upward Bound is not a club but an academic preparatory program. You have to be willing to commit time in the summer and the academic year. You must meet the following requirements.

• Attending Coppin Academy, Edmonson-Westside, Frederick Douglass, Forest Park, IBE or Patterson High School.
• Fit the low-income requirements provided by the United States Department of Education and or be a potential first generation college student.
• Get at least three letters of recommendations from adults at your school or members of your community (sorry no family letters of recommendations) to tell us about your character and potential.
• Write an essay about how Upward Bound can benefit you and your goals in life.
• Be ready to learn, achieve and graduate high school and college!
