What is Upward Bound?
Upward Bound at the University of Maine at Farmington is a life-changing, free educational program that helps prepare students for success in college. UMF UB serves 139 students from 14 different high schools across central and western Maine. We are a federally funded TRIO program that works to make higher education accessible for our students.
Upward Bound’s Mission
Since our program’s inception in 1980, UMF UB has served thousands of students from our partner high schools. Our mission is to help low-income and first-generation students develop the skills necessary to be successful in high school, college, and beyond.
