The Center’s UNLV Upward Bound Math & Science Center (UBMSC) is an academic enrichment program that serves high school students who are either low-income or potential first-generation college graduates.  We are funded under Title IV of the Higher Education Act and are referred to as TRIO Programs.  TRIO Programs such as Upward Bound help students overcome class, social, and cultural barriers by providing an educational opportunity that promotes college success. 

 

During the school year, students attend workshops on the UNLV main campus to receive specialized services in math and science disciplines, academic counseling and career exploration, academic instruction and tutoring, ACT (American College Test) and SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test) college admission testing workshops, motivation and personal development, and parent workshops. During the six-week summer program, participants reside on campus to experience college life while they take part in a rigorous academic program of studies that emphasize academic skills, study techniques, and test preparation. They receive extensive tutoring and counseling and can participate in internships, sports, cultural and recreational activities. We will be hosting virtual workshops, one-on-one, and group services for this fall.

 

Please see attached for the fall workshop calendar. We are also taking referrals for any students who may be interested. Here is the link for the application. http://caeo.unlv.edu/ubms/application
