Upward Bound Math and Science (UBMS)
What is Upward Bound math & Science?
Upward Bound Math and Science (UBMS) is a federally funded TRIO program that assists
participants in acquiring academic tools, financial resources, and self-confidence
to achieve a four-year degree at the college of their choice, and ultimately a career
in a Science, Technology, Engineering, or Math-related (STEM) profession.
To qualify, students need to meet TRIO income-eligible guidelines or be a potential first-generation college student, meaning neither parent has obtained a bachelor's degree. Additionally, students must have at least started the 9th grade or are in 10th or 11th or 12th grade and attend one of the target high schools.
