Upward Bound

Application Instructions

Please print in ink or type your responses. Leave nothing blank.
Please take all recommendation forms to your counselor and the appropriate teachers. Your teachers will return them to your counselor who will then return them to the Upward Bound office.
After all application materials are received, someone from the Upward Bound Office will contact each student’s family to arrange an interview with both you and your parent/guardian. The interview will allow the Upward Bound staff to verify information provided in the application as well as provide the opportunity for parents and students to gain further insight into program expectations and activities.
When scheduling the interview, parents will be asked to bring proof of your family’s income and proof of the participant’s citizenship. The following are acceptable forms of documentation of income:
- A signed copy of your family’s most current federal tax forms (Forms 1040/1040A/1040EZ/1040PC)
- Proof of a recent eligibility letter from a caseworker or public assistance agency that verifies the family’s level of income or assistance; or
- A recent Social Security or Veterans benefit award letter.

Note: For proof of citizenship, students must bring his/her birth certificate or permanent resident card/proof of application of resident card.
