Program Overview
Upward Bound is a free, year round college preparatory program for high school students.  It is 100% grant-funded by the federal government. The goal of the program is to prepare low income, potential first-generation college bound students for success in postsecondary education.  Students attending 
eligible schools
in the El Paso, Ysleta, Canutillo and Anthony School Districts must qualify in order to be selected.  Once selected, students remain in the program until their graduation from high school and completion of their first summer semester of university.
