Davis and Elkins College hosts two Classic Upward Bound
Programs serving participants in 9th through 12th grades
from Barbour, Pendleton, Pocahontas, Randolph, and Tucker
Counties in West Virginia.
What is Upward Bound?
Upward Bound (UB) Programs are Title IV TRiO grant funded programs through the U.S.
Department of Education. Upward Bound Programs are designed to generate in program participants
the skills and motivation necessary to complete a secondary education and to enter and succeed in
a program of postsecondary education.

Davis & Elkins College Upward Bound Programs are year-round programs with all services and program components FREE
to selected participants of the target area.
Fact:
Students in the Upward Bound Program are four times more likely to earn an undergraduate degree
than those students from similar backgrounds who did not participate in TRiO.
