Upward Bound a History
Upward Bound is a TRIO program funded by the U.S. Department of Education. There are over 800 Upward Bound programs across the country. Our program is hosted by the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. Eligibility is determined by family taxable income and parents' education level. We serve students in 9th through 12th grade who go to high schools in La Crosse and Monroe counties with programming from September through August. Successful UB students will participate fully during the all four years of high school during both the academic and summer components.

Students who graduated Upward Bound and high school are encouraged to enter a 2 year or 4 year college the fall they graduate. We then track them for 6 years after and see if they graduated with some sort of diploma. (More to come)
