Upward Bound, established in 1974, at The University of Kansas, and housed in The School of Education since 1983, encourages high school students to enter post-secondary education. This intensive college preparatory program includes monthly academic enrichment sessions, weekly tutoring sessions, campus visits, and other field trips. Each summer, Upward Bound students participate in a six-week residential study program on the KU campus.

SUMMER PROGRAM
