Rollins Upward Bound Program

WHAT IS UPWARD BOUND?

The Rollins College Upward Bound program is a year-round program for motivated students with academic potential who desire additional academic preparation, advisement, and encouragement to succeed in high school and later, in college. Because Upward Bound is a federally funded TRIO program, there is no cost to participate. Eligible students must be either low income, as defined by federal guidelines, or the first generation in their household to attain a four-year college degree. Please see our application page for full details.

WHY UPWARD BOUND?

    • Your grades will improve if you actively participate in the program.
    • You'll be introduced to key personnel at a number of colleges, universities and local businesses.
    • Participation signifies your dedication to attending and succeeding in college.
    • Participation provides an invaluable opportunity to polish your academic skills and learn new ones.
    • Experience the fun and flexibility of college life during the six-week summer program.
    • You will not have to pay to apply to colleges, or to take the SAT and ACT tests.
    • It's free, and there's a stipend for full participation.
