Welcome to the University of Central Florida Upward Bound Program Web site.
Through comprehensive, holistic, co-curricular and academic programs, the UCF Upward Bound Program provides first-generation, low-income high school students with the tools necessary to access postsecondary education as full participants. We support students as they push beyond barriers to college access by engaging them in tutoring, mentoring, academic workshops, academic counseling, academic instruction, assistance with standardized testing, life skills workshops, cultural events, college visits, assistance with the college admissions and financial aid processes, financial literacy, information fluency, career exploration, leadership development, and a summer residential program.
I am passionate about ensuring access to post-secondary education for our scholars and I am committed to providing them with an exemplary program. With the help of our staff, volunteers, scholars, and families, we make this happen.
Being a part of the UCF Upward Bound family is an awesome experience! Our scholars have made tremendous gains and have had numerous experiences that have positively impacted their lives.
I invite you to view our program video to hear what our scholars, parents, and staff have to say about their Upward Bound experience. Additionally, visitors to our site will be able to learn more about Upward Bound. For our scholars and their families, staff and volunteers, this site is filled with resource materials and tools to assist you in your tasks. I encourage you to visit this site often as we update it on a regular basis.
Dream, explore, and build,
Dr. Rebekah McCloud
Director
