The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay’s TRIO program—Upward Bound (UB)—has been renewed and will receive $1.91 million in funding from the Department of Education Office of Federal TRIO Programs.
This grant assures the program’s continuation for the next five years, through 2027.
This program was introduced to aid first-generation and low-income families.
UW-Green Bay Upward Bound serves high school students from the Green Bay Area Public Schools.
Within the Trio Programs, is also the Regional Center for Upward Bound Math/Science Program (RCMS) which was established in 1990 to address the need for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) instruction serving students from 20 high schools throughout Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Michigan.
The RCMS program is currently in its fifth year of funding and the University will submit the renewal application for this program this month.
