HOW TO APPLY FOR THE ROLLINS COLLEGE
UPWARD BOUND PROGRAM

Participant Qualifications -- Students enrolled in target schools in grades 9 - 10 may apply (8th graders may apply for the summer before 9th grade). If your family meets the low income criteria established by the U.S. Government OR if neither of your parents have a 4-year college degree, then you have met the basic qualifications. Selection is also based on teacher recommendations, test scores, grades, and a personal interview.

The program's target school include: Colonial High School; Dr. Philips High School;
Edgewater High School; Evans High School; Jones High School; Oak Ridge High School; University High School -- "target schools" means that new participants must be enrolled at one of these schools in order to be considered for program participation.
