Black United Fund of Illinois Upward Bound Program

The Black United Fund of Illinois Upward Bound Program is a program funded by the US Department of Education to provide opportunities for for our high school participants to succeed in their precollege performance and ultimately in their higher education pursuits. Upward Bound serves: high school students from low-income families; and high school students from families in which neither parent holds a bachelor's degree. The goal of Upward Bound is to increase the rate at which participants complete secondary education and enroll in and graduate from institutions of postsecondary education.
