Upward Bound 

Scholars Academy

The TRIO Upward Bound program is a rigorous educational intervention initiative that equips students for higher education. It offers program services at both Collinsville High School and the SIUE campus, with options for in-person and remote participation. The TRIO Programs are funded by the US Department of Education, and all program services are free of charge to the participants. 

Who We Serve
