Mission Statement
North Seattle Community College Upward Bound, in collaboration with families, schools and other invested partners, will increase high school students' access to higher education opportunities by providing individualized services that support higher academic achievement and entry into a post-secondary institution. Upward Bound also seeks to strengthen student commitment to the lifelong pursuit of learning, social development, and community involvement which, we believe, will lead to a more meaningful, well-rounded, and productive life.
Description
Upward Bound supports Seattle high school students in their preparation for college entrance by providing tutorial support, classroom instruction, academic/personal counseling, mentoring as well as college preparation assistance with applications, scholarship searches, financial aid and more. The program provides these services within the high school environment during the academic year and then brings the students onto the NSCC campus for an intensive 7-week program during the summer.
