Upward Bound College Tours
One of the benefits of being an Upward Bound student is having the opportunity to join us on college tours!

During these tours, we will:
- have a walking tour through campus
- go over application requirements
- discuss what majors are offered
- discuss on-campus housing options
- review tuition costs
- explore what on campus life is like
- meet with college advisors
- tour TRIO office (if the college/university has a TRIO program)

- Must have a 2.5 GPA or above
