TRiO Upward Bound Office

From the Arkansas Tech directory, Sep 7, 2026

Mission: The Upward Bound projects at Arkansas Tech University exist to make a difference in the lives of low income and first-generation students in the high schools surrounding our campus. The goal of these federally funded grant programs is to prepare high school students for success in high school, college, and beyond. Success is to be accomplished through the following intense services: weekly advising sessions, weekly tutoring sessions, monthly Saturday educational/cultural events, and a six-week summer residential program on the Arkansas Tech University campus. The focus of the staff is program retention, increased grades and test scores, successful entry and retention in post-secondary education, and healthy exposure to cultural, social, and educational experiences that will help develop successful individuals in our community.???Website: https://www.atu.edu/trio/
