Upward Bound is a federally funded program created in 1965 as part of
the Economic Opportunity Act. Funding is now provided by the U.S.
Department of Education. Upward Bound is an educational program designed
to develop the skills and motivation necessary for students’ success in
education beyond high school. College of Eastern Utah’s Upward Bound
program began on September 1, 2007 and is comprised of 9th-12th grade
students from Carbon, Emery, Grand County, Green River, and Lighthouse
High Schools and the junior high schools that feed into them. During
the academic year, students meet weekly with an Upward Bound Coordinator
and tutors, and they participate in one Saturday academy each month.
Participants in the summer program receive instruction in mathematics,
science, literature and composition, foreign language, computer
applications, study skills, and other disciplines for six weeks on
the College of Eastern Utah campus in Price, Utah. Students from the
schools mentioned above must apply and be accepted.
