Upward Bound
Upward Bound Is College Bound - Are YOU?
NHC Upward Bound is a college preparatory program funded since 1999 through a competitive grant by the U.S. Department of Education.
Upward Bound is designed to assist first-generation, economically disadvantaged high school students in developing the skills and the motivation to succeed in college.
Upward Bound participants receive academic advising, standardized test preparation, tutorials, scholarship and financial aid assistance, cultural enrichment, career exploration, and college campus tours.
Students in the Upward Bound program are four times more likely to earn an undergraduate degree than those students from similar backgrounds who did not participate in the program. The NHC Upward Bound program currently serves 120 students from Aldine ISD.
