Description
The Upward Bound Program, funded by the U.S. Department of Education, offers a year-round program of educational support for high school students who wish to attend college. Upward Bound is divided into two components: the academic year and the summer residential program. During the academic year students receive individual tutoring as well as academic support, career counseling, academic advising, and cultural enrichment. During the summer, Upward Bound conducts a six-week residential summer program on the Cleveland State University campus that includes six hours of daily classroom instruction and cultural, educational, and recreational activities.
