Summer 2022: June 19 - July 29

The TRiO Upward Bound Summer Program at UM is a free six-week residential college prep program that simulates the college experience. Participating students will take classes that help with their upcoming high school curriculum and prepare them for college. Students will also participate in activities with community and campus partners. In the past, these activities have included high ropes courses, whitewater rafting, and attending a local baseball game.

This program is designed for students who are college-bound, dedicated learners (GPA of 2.5+), and positive community members.

Incoming Juniors & Seniors (students who will be 11th or 12th grade in the Fall following summer program) will take College Success, a 2-credit college course, at no cost!
