Each summer, the Upward Bound program selects a

group of rising juniors and seniors to participate in

the work-study experience. This experience allows

students to be exposed to careers requiring a

bachelor’s degree or beyond. The students meet

with a professional in a career of their interest at

the jobsite.

In addition, all work-study students meet with an

Upward Bound staff member who helps prepare

them for the world of work.
