What is Upward Bound?
The mission of CBC's Upward Bound is to academically prepare low-income high school students to become first-generation graduates of post-secondary programs. Upward Bound students participate in both summer and academic-year programs. After graduation from high school, students are eligible to enroll in the "BRIDGES" program for their first summer of college course work.
Program Components:
