If you are interested in enrolling:

• Contact the Upward Bound office for information and an application form
• Your information will be reviewed and an interview may be scheduled

Student Support Services
Just as Upward Bound is a federally funded TRiO program that supports high school students, Student Support Services is a TRiO program designed to help college students. Upward Bound students who go on to enroll at Waubonsee may be eligible for this program, which aids in academic planning, career exploration, applying for financial aid, obtaining scholarships and more.
