LSC-Kingwood - TRIO Upward Bound

Upward Bound is a free federally funded grant program designed to prepare first-generation, low-income high school students for college. Upward Bound aims to increase college enrollment and degree completion among program participants.

Upward Bound participants receive academic advising, standardized test preparation, supplemental instruction, scholarship and financial aid assistance, financial literacy training, and college campus tours. Through participation in after-school tutorials and a six-week summer program on the Lone Star College-Kingwood campus, students build academic skills and improve their academic performance. Students also participate in cultural enrichment activities and community service events. Additionally, Upward Bound offers developmental workshops in college success skills such as time management, study skills, and career exploration.

The Lone Star College-Kingwood Upward Bound has served students from the Splendora ISD since 1999. We aim to serve the students and provide services through Lone Star College-Kingwood Upward Bound.
