Welcome to Upward Bound
 Upward Bound provides high school students with opportunities and assistance to explore their potential for academic, social and personal growth. Its purpose is to provide equal access to post-secondary education by giving them adequate preparation.
Sharpened academic skills plus exposure to various new social, cultural, and recreational activities help to make students better informed, more aware, and self-confident. Upward Bound can help students complete high school and be prepared to be successful at the college level and beyond.
What does the program involve? There are two parts: A summer residential program and an academic year program. The residential summer program combines concentrated academic work plus structured and optional recreational activities, both on and off campus at Lock Haven University. Throughout each school year, Upward Bound students meet weekly in their home school with an Academic Center Educator (ACE) who provides individualized tutoring, guidance, and counseling in academic, career, social, or personal matters.
This 1966 group photo is of the first Upward Bound class at Lock Haven State College (now Lock Haven University). There were 100 students from schools throughout central Pennsylvania and the northern tier. Harold Wisor was the first Upward Bound director. Do you recognize anyone in this photo?

Upward Bound is funded by a grant from the United States Department of Education, in the amount of $250,000. It is supported by additional funding and services from Lock Haven University of Pennsylvania, local school districts, and the Lock Haven University Foundation.
