By Brian Monensen

Six weeks in the Denver area
during the summer, casli stiivnds
just for doing monthly home
work assignments, and an aca
demic program that will help you
not only get into a college but
also be ready for college.
Sounds like a sweet deal?
It's really not too good to be
true: It's the Upward Bound
program.
Upward Bound is an aca
demic program conducted by
the University of Colorado in
Boulder, geared toward helping
Native American students go to
college.
F-ach summer about 70 stu
dents attend the Summer Aca
demic Institute on the Univer
sity of Colorado campus. While
they are in Colorado, the stu
dents enroll in courses like biol
ogy, chemistry, physics, nil lev
els of math, college preparatory
writing, computer applications,
study skills, journalism and
speech communication courses.
"It takes kids out of home
and off the reservation and puts
on a college campus with other
Natives," said Clark Jones, an
English teacher at Madras I ligh
School. Jones is the Upward
Bound site coordinator at the
schK)l.
Upward Bound recruits from
17 high schools near 11 Native
American communities in the
Western US.
Jones said he is still accept
ing applications from students

said he has tentative plans to
