TRIO Upward Bound
Upward Bound
Upward Bound is a campus-based TRIO program designed to assist area high school students with additional academic preparation, advisement, and encouragement to succeed in high school and later in college.
Mission
The mission of Upward Bound at Kansas State Salina is to prepare scholars to persist in post-secondary education by promoting lifelong learning and instilling the ideals of achievement in all aspects necessary to succeed collegiately and personally.
About
The Upward Bound Program participants are involved in the program from the time they are selected for participation until they graduate from high school. The program offers a six-week summer residential component and Saturday sessions during the academic year. Students must meet family income guidelines and/or be first-generation college-bound.
Upward Bound is a program within the Office of Student Belonging and Inclusion, and there is no cost for participation.
