grades nine through 11 to
develop the basic academic
skills necessary for post-secon
dary education
The program, established in
1966 also enables students to
be aware of various career op
portumties through seminars,
field trips and on-the-|Ob train
ing
Students who participate in
the program must meet a
number of requirements A
student must currently be en
rolled in a ' target-area' school
must come from a family whose
taxable income is within the
federal government's low-in
come level, and must have
academic potential while need
ing help in basic skills
A school is considered for
Upward Bound assistance
based on student demogra
phics. student ethnic origins
and family income levels
University Upward Bound Di
rector Pearl Hill says
Upward Bound consists of
two programs — an academic
year program and an eighl
week summer residential pro
gram The former offers tutorial
assistance and out-of-class ac
tivities such as field trips art
exhibits and films The more
intensive summer program adds
class instruction and student
housing in University dormitor
ies
Even though Upward Bound
students pay no fee and receive
a weekly stipend of $7 50, the
decision to enroll is not an easy
one, according to Hill Summer
jobs often seem more attractive
to students who easily can earn
more than the weekly stipends,
she says
Times are getting tighter and
tighter They (students) are
dealing with it realistically, Hill
says
All Upward Bound students
must take courses in reading
writing, math, health, science
and speech three days a week
On Tuesdays and Thursdays
students engage in career
counseling and out-of-class ac
tivities conducted by group
counselors They also have a
choice of elective classes in
cluding journalism art, cooking
and martial arts
Hill says all the students have
academic potential although
they may not realize it
We don't take no for an
answer We don't take I
can't " she says
Hill says she thinks Upward
Bound definitely lives up to its
optimistic title I think Upward
Bound does make a difference
in people s lives she says
If students learn to have con
trol of their lives and to set goals
and work toward them they 'll be
upward bound Hill maintains
She says Upward Bound is a
place to grow a place to
start "
