Upward Bound
Bemidji State University's Upward Bound is a college preparatory program designed to help high school students prepare for education beyond high school. We work with students to improve their chances for admission to the schools they want to attend. Students will be able to seek answers to questions such as
- What does it take to be the first in your family to graduate from college?
- When do you start thinking about applying?
- How do you pursue education/training after high school when it costs so much money?
