Welcome!

Upward Bound (UB) at USM assists high school students in graduating from high school and preparing for success in college. UB offers students ongoing support and a wide variety of opportunities to gain experience and skills designed to help them succeed in high school and college.

The goal of Upward Bound at USM is to increase the rate at which participants complete high school, enroll in and graduate from a college or university. In addition to providing academic support, UB helps students develop open minds, self-confidence, creativity, communication, and leadership skills. Upward Bound at USM works in partnership with students, their parents, and high school staff to help students achieve their own aspirations of attending and graduating from a post-secondary institution.
