Upward Bound IV
The Upward Bound program prepares and motivates high school students that are low income, first generation, and college bound, for success in education beyond high school. Students benefit from enrolling in Upward Bound class at their schools during the academic year and from participating in a six-week summer residential program on the campus of Boise State University.
The academic year program includes daily instruction in college prep math, literature, language arts, career and college exploration, science and includes a tutoring component. Students attend the college fair, career fair and other out-of-college visits during the academic year.
The summer program includes college preparation courses, workshops, enrichments, and extracurricular activities. Students model the college going experience by living in the dorms and taking class in college classrooms. Students are also learning through weekly service learning activities. At the end of the program, students go on an out-of-state college visitation.
Students are given the opportunity to attend the Boise College Fair, Boise Career Fair, Mexican-American Studies Conference, Hispanic Youth Symposium,also be a TRiO ambassador, National TRiO Day of service; and the Idaho TRiO Student Association (TSA).
