About the Program
In short, we are federally funded by the U.S. Department of Education to increase the rate at which first generation and low income students complete secondary education and enroll in and graduate from institutions of postsecondary education. And ever since our e stablished in 1972, we have been highly successful in that endeavor. Our historic program is located in Baltimore, Maryland, on the campus of Morgan State University, which is one of the most prestigious Historic Black Colleges and Universities across the nation. Once enrolled, our participants become progressive in life and in their pursuit of life's opportunities. Upon completion of our program, many students feel enlighten to have shared the Upward Bound experence.
