The Upward Bound Program (UB) at South Tahoe High School is currently accepting applications for this Summer’s Academy and the next academic year!

Students in grades 9-12, including rising 9th graders, are encouraged to apply. UB is the newest TRiO grant at Lake Tahoe Community College and is designed to provide fundamental support to high school students in their preparation for college. UB serves 60 students who are from low-income families, who are potentially the first in their families to go to college, or students who are at risk of academic failure.

Eligible participants receive free services including tutoring, academic advising, and workshops focusing on student skills, career exploration, financial literacy, and the college application process. In addition, the program offers a Saturday Academy, which meets twice a month where members enjoy guest speakers, cultural and volunteer activities, and day trips. UB hosts a Summer Academy for the month of July, as well as an annual Summer College Tour where program members visit distant college campuses.
