Upward Bound
Project Upward Bound works to increase minority student enrollment at major universities across the country by providing high school students with the academic requirements and skills necessary to compete in a major academic institution.
This program is one of the oldest federally funded programs in the country and has existed on the UIUC campus since 1966. OMSA’s Project Upward Bound serves high school students throughout the academic year and during an intensified summer component that includes courses in reading, writing, mathematics and science. Very often, UIUC students are the tutors and summer instructors for Project Upward Bound students. In addition, during the summer component, Project Upward Bound students are provided both room and board Monday though Friday on the University of Illinois campus. Project Upward Bound places more than 90 percent of its graduates at major universities.
