Upward Bound serves 86 Boston Public High School Students by providing academic instruction, tutoring, social enrichment and personal support. This includes MCAS English, Math and Science prep, along with the SATs. The program is free and now has openings. Applicants must meet income guidelines or be first generation college-potential.
