this is a really great program that helps kids who might not attend college have an opportunity to get an education. It was cut at UF and USF but I think we are the only ones to get it back. Go us (and Kathy C who also helped)!

USF revives Upward Bound with $3.5-million

Upward Bound is back at USF.

The university has received a $3.5 million grant to re-establish the federal program , which supports low income and first-generation college students through high school and college.

USF operated Upward Bound for four-plus decades but was among many institutions, including UF, that lost federal funding last year because of a change in the evaluation procedures. U.S. Rep. Kathy Castor (D-FL) and other members of Congress helped restore the money, through the five-year grant.
