The Upward Bound Program is a federally-funded program designed to

working to increase representation of low-income students in higher
education. The program serves students from Belmont, Fairfax,
Hollywood, and Manual Arts High Schools, and provides academic support
and career guidance services to students from their tenth grade until they
graduate from high school, and enter a post-secondary education
program. Students qualify for the program by being from low-income
families where the parents have not earned a B.A./B.S. degree.
During the academic year, the Upward Bound Program provides
participants with tutoring and advising services at their high schools and
conducts Saturday Academy sessions on the LACC campus. Every
summer, participants attend an intensive 6-week Summer Academic
Program at LACC, where they enroll in courses and earn credits towards
high school graduation. Instruction includes courses in Math, English
Composition, Laboratory Sciences, Computers, Languages, Social
Studies, and various Visual and Performing Arts. Throughout the year, the
program provides tutoring services, instruction in college-level study skills,
exposure to professional careers, and guidance through the college

conferences, and other enriching experiences.
