Thank you for visiting the GVSU Upward Bound website.  Here you'll find information about the program, including application information, summer program details, employment opportunities, and information about our faculty and staff.

Our program is designed to help academically talented students from traditionally underserved backgrounds reach their potential by earning a college degree.  We work closely to help students build the academic skills, motivation, and self-confidence necessary for success in college by providing counseling, ACT/SAT preparation, tutoring, cultural activities, and community service experience.

We're federally funded, one of six programs that together comprise TRiO.  For more information about TRiO, check out either GVSU's site, or the Department of Education's site.


If you have any questions about the program or enrolling, please contact us.
