Trio Upward Bound

Interested in a summer position for the Trio Upward Bound program at SUNY Adirondack?

"TRIO Upward Bound serves: high school students from low-income families; and high school students from families in which neither parent holds a bachelor's degree. The goal of Upward Bound is to increase the rate at which participants complete secondary education and enroll in and graduate from institutions of postsecondary education. These positions from 6/30/10 through 8/12/10 are part of a federally funded grant program designed to assist eligible 9th-12th grade students to develop the skills and motivation necessary to graduate from high
school, enter and succeed in higher education."
