Extra Perks & resources
🎯 The More You Test, The Better You Score (and Save!)
At Upward Bound, we recommend students take the ACT at least twice — and we help cover the cost! Why? Because a higher ACT score = more scholarship money 💰. That’s real cash for college just for improving your test score — and we’re all about helping you make that happen.
With our ACT Test Prep workshops every year, by the time you’re a Senior, you’ll have tons of smart strategies and tools to help you feel confident and ready to crush it.
🏫 Getting Ready for Life After High School Starts Now
Upward Bound helps students prepare for college by discovering their strengths, exploring career paths, and finding the right school to match their goals.
We visit at least 4 colleges each year, giving students real insight into campus life, degree options, and what it takes to succeed.
Because being college-ready means being future-ready — and we’re here to make sure they are.
College can be expensive, but we’re here to help you make it affordable! Upward Bound works hard to help you avoid student loans, or at least keep them as low as possible.
One of the best ways to avoid student loans is by applying for scholarships — and we’re here to help you find them and craft winning applications.
Even better, there’s a special scholarship just for being in Upward Bound!
For seniors who complete the Bridge Program after graduation, you’re eligible for a $250/semester scholarship to Neosho County Community College — that’s up to $1,000 for college! Just one more reason to be a part of Upward Bound!
