UpWard Bound

The Paine College TRIO Upward Bound Program has educated, empowered and prepared over 5,000 CSRA Scholars to achieve academic and personal success since its inception in 1967. Our mission is simple: to provide the skills and motivation necessary for our participants to successfully graduate from high school and enroll in and graduate from an institution of postsecondary education. The Program is federally funded by the U. S. Department of Education to serve 113 students from the following target high schools: ARC, Butler, Cross Creek, Glenn Hills, Hephzibah, Lucy C. Laney, T.W. Josey and Westside. All services are provided at no monetary cost to participants or their parent(s)/guardian(s).
