Upward Bound

About

Upward Bound is a pre-college program funded by the U.S. Department of Education and hosted by Rogers State University.

Upward Bound:

• develops the personal and academic skills of high school students for success in college and a career
• raises motivation and enhances the educational, personal and academic skills of students
• ensures an increase in secondary school retention, graduation, and the students entry into college

By participating in Upward Bound, students have the unique opportunity to experience college life while still in high school.

The program provides students with a six-week summer stay on the Claremore campus while taking Upward Bound classes and participating in a wide range of activities and field trips.
