Upward Bound Math & Science is a federal grant program funded by the Department of Education designed to strengthen the math and science skills of participating students. The goal of the program is to help students recognize and develop their potential to excel in math and science and to encourage them to pursue postsecondary degrees in math and science, and ultimately careers in the math and science profession. In 2022, and 2023 we continued the Upward Bound program at the target schools, recruited and served the required amount of students, hired tutorial staff, provided daily tutorials for students after school, facilitated a six-week intensive summer program, hosted multiple workshops, and organized multiple field trips to colleges and STEM intensive sites.

The Educational Opportunity Center (EOC) is a program funded by the U.S. Department of Education, that provides counseling and application assistance to any qualified participants interested in pursuing higher education. Higher education can be college, university, a trade school program, or any other training after the completion of high school or the GED. The EOC advisors are here to be your higher education advocates.Participants in the EOC program receive more than just help completing forms. Our experienced advisors understand the obstacles students face when enrolling in college - financial, personal, and family - and we will help you create a personalized plan to work through those obstacles to attend school.
