What is Upward Bound?
Upward Bound was the first TRIO Program created by Lynden B. Johnson's Administration's "War on Poverty" in 1964. A year later, it became a part of a larger legislative Act known as the Higher Education Act of 1965. The primary goal of the program and all subsequent TRIO program is to provide greater educational opportunities for low income and potential - first generation college students.

The purpose of Upward Bound is to assist students in the development of the skills and motivation necessary to succeed both in high school and beyond.  Admission into the Upward Bound program is not automatic; students and their parents/guardians must complete an application, participate in an applicant interview, and demonstrate the desire and need for program support.

Upward Bound is a federally funded TRIO program serving 50 students from five Clallam County schools.  Participants must have a need for academic support and demonstrate a desire for assistance in pursuing education after high school graduation.  Participants come from the following high schools:

Port Angeles High School Lincoln High School Forks High School Fork Alternative High School Quileute Tribal High School
