Who is eligible for Upward Bound?
There are 145 students in our program from Cloudland, Unaka, Hampton, Happy
Valley, Elizabethton, Johnson County, Unicoi County, Washington County, and
Sullivan County High Schools. Students must meet at least one of the following
criteria in order to be accepted into the program: 1) family income meets
federal guidelines, and/or 2) neither parent obtained a degree from a four-year
college. Students start the three/four-year program in the beginning of
their freshman or sophomore year and remain in the program until they begin
their college career.
What is involved with filling out the application?
We ask that each student who is interested in becoming a part of this program to
submit an application no later than the date announced for their particular
school. The application asks for basic student information, a copy of
their current high school schedule, a transcript release form, and finally a
copy of the parent's 1040 Tax information (for federal income guidelines only -
information is kept confidential).
When can a student apply?
Recruitment for the 2006-2007 Upward Bound program will start Mid-August and
continue through the first part of September.
