The University of Pennsylvania High School Upward Bound Program is a college preparatory program designed to motivate and prepare students in the program for the successful pursuit of a four-year college education. The goal of the program is to increase the rate at which low-income, first-generation-to-college students enroll in and graduate from a college or university with a bachelor's degree. The U. S. Department of Education, under Title IV of the Higher Education Act known as TRIO, funds the program.
Students from the following Philadelphia public high schools are eligible to apply:
To qualify, students must be from a low- income and/or first-generation-to-college background. The program serves 92 students. Parents of Upward Bound students are strongly encouraged to become involved in all aspects of their child's participation, including attending meetings of the Upward Bound Parent's Association.
Students may enroll starting in the ninth grade through graduation from high school. The program is year-round for a maximum of four years per student. On average, 98%-100% of Penn's Upward Bound students are accepted at and attend college.
