Who’s Eligible?

UMBC Upward Bound currently serves 9th through 12th grade male and female high school students from four Baltimore County Public Schools and one Baltimore City Public School. These students are the first generation in their family to go to college and/or low income (See taxable income chart). We generally admit students in grade 9 or 10.
