What is Upward Bound?
The Upward Bound program consists of two parts: tutoring services and mentorship during
the academic school year and a six-week residential experience on the Arkansas Tech
campus during the summer.
In the summer session, students live in Arkansas Tech residence halls and are taught
by a team of university faculty,graduate students, and certified teachers in math,
science, English, and more. Additionally, students develop computer skills using some
of the latest technology, as well as reviewing skills needed for the ACT exam.
During the academic school year, students are visited weekly by a member of the UB
staff completing assignments that are a part of the college application process. Tutoring
services are also provided weekly for UB students.
One Saturday each month, the UB participants experience educational, cultural, and
social activities and field trips.
