Upward Bound

UW-Superior offers the Upward Bound program for eligible students attending Superior High School who face challenges in pursuing higher education without additional support.

During the academic year, students receive tutoring, counseling and study skills training to help them improve their grades and self-confidence. They also visit college campuses, attend plays, concerts and lectures; and build relationships through social, recreational and cultural activities.

During the summer Upward Bound students participate in a six-week residency program on the UW-Superior campus.
