| Program Description: |
| | The Upward Bound Project at Stevens Institute of Technology is a science, mathematics, and engineering program |
| | which generates in high school students the skills and the motivation necessary to successfully complete a high |
| | school education and then pursue and complete a post secondary baccalaureate degree in science, mathematics |
| | and engineering. The Upward Bound Project provides services to low-income and first- generation high school |
| | students to enhance and develop their learning skills, which assure students' success in science, mathematics, and |
| | engineering curricula at all educational levels and careers. |
| | |
| | The goal of the Upward Bound Project is to introduce participants who are underrepresented in the professions of |
| | science, mathematics, and engineering to an intense academic curriculum, exposure trips in science and |
| | engineering, cultural activities, and college field trips. |
| | |
| | The Upward Bound Project is a (TRIO)-funded program through the United States Department of Education. |
