Want to have fun?
Want to try out college living?
Want to strengthen the possibilities for your future?

If so, you want to learn more about Upward Bound at Simpson College.

 So why should you participate in Upward Bound?  It is a fun way to strengthen your academic and study skills.  You will spend six weeks of the summer living on Simpson’s campus with Upward Bound students from other local schools.  This gives you the chance to make new friends and learn what going away to college might be like.  You’ll even get to take a fun filled trip at the end of the session.  During  the school year you’ll keep focused on your goal of going to college.

If all that isn’t enough, listen to this.  You will pay no expenses for participating in this program thanks to the U.S. Department of Education.  Plus, you can make money: up to $60 a month during the summer and up to $40 during the school year just for taking part in scheduled activities.
