Upward Bound Current Students

Study Centers
Upward Bound Study Centers run from September through May and meet on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 5:30 to 7:30 at the Academic Enrichment Center. The goal of the study center is to provide you with trained staff to assist you with homework assignments, studying for quizzes/exams, projects, SAT/DSTP preparation, and college/career exploration. During study center hours, you have access to all the resources you might need to complete your assignments.

If you are planning to participate in the study center, please bring enough work for the entire time. This is study time – not time to socialize. You will not be allowed to disrupt other students who are here to work. In the event that the study center must be closed, an announcement will be posted on the local radio stations.

Monthly Workshops
The monthly workshop time is set aside for academic workshops, community service, college tours and cultural activities. The workshop is usually scheduled during the day on a Saturday. Some sample activities include: Money Management, Food Drives, Financial Aid for College, art exhibits, admissions workshop, and Study Skills. Please check your program schedule and UB fliers for monthly workshop dates and topics.

SAT/DSTP Preparation
The Upward Bound program offers SAT/DSTP preparation both during the academic year and in the summer program. This is provided both formally, through SAT/DSTP preparation classes, and on an individual basis, during evenings when the study center is held. If you would like help preparing for the SAT, please see the Study Center Coordinator during study center hours.

Fee Waivers
The Upward Bound Program offers fee waivers for the SAT test and for college application fees. These fee waivers are only available to active members of the program.

Summer Residential Program
The tentative move-in date for this year is Saturday, June 21st. Please remember that this date is tentative. The summer residential program will be held on campus at the University of Delaware.
