For over 60 years Upward Bound programs have been providing students from first-generation, low-income, and underprivileged backgrounds with educational opportunities to help them both excel and graduate high school, and ultimately attend the post-secondary college or university of their choice.The Upward Bound program at Seminole State College provides these services to students through the academic year and summer component of our program free of charge; in addition, these students have the opportunity to earn stipends through their participation and attendance.
