The Academic Year of the Upward Bound program is made up of two components to help not only make students aware of deadlines and events occurring in the Upward Bound program, but to also help prepare them for such events as the ACT/SAT, Career Work Study, and the Bridge Program. These components are:
Weekly School Visits
Each Week, members of the ETSU Upward Bound staff travel to the various target schools to meet with students during
part of their lunch period. This time is used to not only make students
aware of upcoming deadlines, but to also allow for ETSU Upward Bound staff to
keep in close contact with the students to help make sure that the students are
on track for college. Here is the following schedule for school visits:
- Monday
- Science Hill High School Both 9th grade campus and 10-12 campus

Monthly Saturday Sessions
Once a month, we invite our students from the various target schools to
the ETSU Campus. During our half-day session, we help prepare students in
English and Math to take the ACT/SAT, we provide relevant seminar classes geared
towards each grade level, and we also offer computer training courses. On
these Saturday Sessions, we provide transportation from the student's school
area to ETSU, and back to their school. The Saturday Session lasts from
8:30 am till 12:30 pm with lunch provided on campus.
