The Higher Education Consortium of Metropolitan St. Louis Upward Bound Program is funded through the U.S. Department of Education. Its primary purpose is to generate in program participants the skills and motivations necessary to complete a program of secondary education and to enter and succeed in a program of post-secondary education.
Services are provided primarily to students in St. Louis Public Schools (grades 9-12) who are low-income, first generation college-ready, and have potential for post-secondary education.
