Western’s Upward Bound
program is a college-based program designed to prepare
students in grades 9-12 for success in their education
beyond high school. Upward Bound will accomplish this
goal by assisting the high school in their effort to
develop the academic and motivational potential of
students who are interested in pursuing a college
degree.
The program is free to all participants who meet
economic and other requirements. The Upward Bound
program consists of the academic year component and the
summer session. During the academic year, the students
participate in a variety of educational and social
activities. Upward Bound’s six-week summer program
simulates a college environment. Students take part in
an intensive curriculum with individual programs of
study geared toward their particular academic needs and
career goals. Students have the opportunity to live in
the residence hall at Western Oklahoma State College.
