Wittenberg University’s TRIO Upward Bound Program is currently accepting applications for new students.
Upward Bound works to stimulate interest in college among students of low-income families or families in which there is little history of college study. The program provides role models of college-educated students and academic assistance to prepare participants for the challenge of study beyond high school.
Students requesting an application must be entering the ninth, 10th or 11th grades and live within the city of Springfield and the Springfield City School District.
