How many students are accepted to Upward Bound?
Upward Bound can serve a total of 52 students each year from Fargo-Moorhead High Schools. Typically, that means there are 12-15 spots available each academic year. 

How does a student become a participant in the Upward Bound program?
Students must complete an application to get started. Then, students (and their parents/guardians) will meet with UB staff to talk about the commitment to the program and confirm their eligibility.

Do participants need to reapply each year?
No, once a student is accepted into the program, they are participants until their high school graduation. 

How much does Upward Bound cost?
Upward Bound is free to participants. All costs are paid for by the U.S. Department of Education. 

If I am accepted to Upward Bound, can I still be in other extra-curricular activities or hold a job?
Yes! Upward Bound isn’t meant to replace your other activities or jobs. Just ensure your schedule allows for you to participate in the program requirements before accepting placement into UB.
