Upward Bound Program at SFU has openings for 8th, 9th, & 10th graders from Cambria County high schools. Upward Bound is a college-access program that helps eligible students learn more about the college-application process, prepare for the SATs, & apply for financial-aid scholarships.
From Sept. through May, students participate in Saturday follow-ups at SFU & after-school tutorials in their communities. Additional activities include college visits/fairs, SAT-cram sessions, & FAFSA-completion nights. During a six-week residential summer program, students attend classes in lab sciences, math, foreign languages, & humanities. Upward Bound also sponsors a work-study component, volunteer opportunities, & cultural events.
All of the program’s services are provided free of charge. Contact the Upward Bound staff at [email protected] or (800) 457-6300 or 814-472-3023.
