low-income families; high school students from families in which neither
parent holds a bachelor's degree; and low-income, first-generation
military veterans who are preparing to enter college. The
goal of Upward Bound is to increase the rate at which participants
complete high school and enroll in and graduate from college. The following colleges and universities
