This federally-funded, year-round program provides comprehensive support for college access and success, specifically focusing on STEM for eligible high school students, including a six-week residential summer experience and college tours.
The Temple University Upward Bound Math & Science program is a federally-funded, year-round college preparatory program designed to support high school students from first-generation, low-income backgrounds, or those at academic risk, in their pursuit of higher education, particularly in STEM fields. The program includes a six-week summer residential component at Temple University, offering academic instruction and enrichment in math and science. Participants engage in a variety of activities such as college visits, educational trips, and personal, career, and skill development workshops. The program also offers opportunities to participate in clubs like coding, student government, media productions, and debate. The overall aim is to increase the rate at which participants complete secondary education and successfully enroll in and graduate from post-secondary institutions, preparing them for college majors and careers in STEM.
A typical day during the six-week summer residential program involves academic instruction and enrichment in math and science, alongside various social and cultural activities.
This program is ideal for motivated high school students in 9th or 10th grade from Philadelphia public district or charter schools who are first-generation, low-income, or at academic risk, and are interested in pursuing college majors and careers in STEM fields.
