On behalf of Pender County Schools and Cape Fear Community College, we would like to invite you to apply for the new Upward Bound program. The Upward Bound program is a federally funded grant to provide a pre-college experience for high school students. The purpose of the program is to prepare students to attend the college or university of their choice. It includes all-expense paid trips to universities, cultural enrichment, academic tutoring, SAT/ACT prep, and interactive workshops. The majority of participants must be both potential first-generation college students and come from low-income households, but there is space for those who are not.
The program application can be found at: https://cfcc.edu/upward-bound/apply/
For any questions, please reach out to the director:
