Welcome!
Through comprehensive, holistic, co-curricular and academic programs, the UCF Upward Bound Program provides low income, potential first-generation high school students with the tools necessary to access postsecondary education as full participants. We support students as they push beyond barriers to college access by engaging them in tutoring, mentoring, academic workshops, academic counseling, academic instruction, assistance with standardized testing, life skills workshops, cultural events, college visits, assistance with the college admissions and financial aid processes, financial literacy, information fluency, career exploration, leadership development, and a summer residential program.
Upward Bound is a unique experience that affords our 50 scholars with opportunities they would not have but for the program. Our scholars have made tremendous gains and have had numerous experiences that have positively impacted their lives.
