Upward Bound

The Upward Bound Program is now accepting applications. Please visit the Upward Bound Program office located in the Michaelis Academic Center, room 217, on the MCC campus to pick up an application.

Upward Bound is a college readiness program providing fundamental support and opportunities for participants to succeed in their precollege performance and, ultimately, their post-secondary journey. UB serves low-income and/or first-generation college-bound students. Our grant is held by McLennan Community College and awarded by the U.S. Department of Education. 

The Upward Bound Program serves participants on the MCC campus Monday and Wednesday evenings from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. and one Saturday a month from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. During the summer, Upward Bound provides a summer, non-residential program in June and July. Students come to the MCC campus Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The summer program is designed to simulate a college-going experience.
