Since 1975, the Upward Bound program at the College of Charleston has been fulfilling its mission of preparing low income and potential first generation college students (meaning neither parent has earned a Bachelor’s degree) for academic success at the post-secondary level, while they are still in high school, with some starting in the ninth grade.  Read More about Upward Bound...

Learn What We Do and What We Offer

What is Upward Bound?

The Upward Bound Program has been sponsored by the College of Charleston since 1975.

We are a college preparatory program designed to generate in its participants the skills and motivation necessary for success in education beyond high school. 

We provide special academic, cultural, and mentoring opportunities for a limited number of first-generation high school students who have demonstrated the potential and interest to succeed in post-secondary education.
