UPWARD BOUND

Upward Bound at College of the Redwoods is a Federally funded TRIO program that provides year-round support to high school students in their preparation for college entrance. The program provides opportunities for participants to succeed in their precollege performance and ultimately in their higher education pursuits. Upward Bound serves high school students from low-income families and/or high school students from families in which neither parent holds a bachelor’s degree. The goal of Upward Bound is to increase the rate at which participants complete secondary education and enroll in and graduate from institutions of postsecondary education. 8th—11th grade students who are or will be attending one of the following high schools are encouraged to apply: Del Norte High School, Eureka Senior High School, Fort Bragg High School, Fortuna Union High School and McKinleyville High School. There are no charges of any kind to participating students or their families. For more information, contact a high school counselor or call Upward Bound at 707.465.2333 in Del Norte, 707.476.4277 in Humboldt, or 707.962.2638 in Fort Bragg.
