Additional information
The MIT/Wellesley Upward Bound Program is a year-round, coeducational, multicultural college preparatory program for high school youth who reside in Cambridge, MA and/or attend Cambridge Rindge and Latin School (CRLS). The program serves students from low-income backgrounds and from families where parents have not had the opportunity to attend college and/or graduate with a 4-year degree. The main goal of the program is to motivate participants to continue on to post-secondary education.
Participants attend supervised study sessions and tutorials, for a minimum of four (4) hours per week, at MIT. Participants must meet with Program staff regularly to review their academic progress and participation performance. Additionally, the Program provides college admissions, financial aid, and career advising and workshops to participants and their parents. Lastly, we again seek to balance the Program's activities by offering a number of diverse cultural and recreational events and field trips.
