Program participants enroll in English, literature, science, math, foreign language, and college prep classes. In addition, students enroll in a science-based mentorship course that helps them develop research and communication skills.

Upward Bound and Upward Bound Math Science are pleased to be able to offer the entire summer program at no cost to program participants.

This includes:

• Books

• Supplies

• UW student feeds

• Room and Board at UWYO

• Activities

• Stipends

Upward Bound and Upward Bound Math Science summer participant staff undergo a week-long training covering healthy communication practices, mental health concerns, healthy relationships, minors on campus policies, Title IX, CPR/First-aid, and recognizing/reporting child abuse.

To be eligible for the summer program, students must be eligible for and enrolled in the University of Wyoming Upward Bound or Upward Bound Math Science Program. 

If a student is enrolled in UB/UBMS, then, as long as the student will be enrolled in high school the semester after the summer program, they are eligible for the summer program. This means the student will be a freshman, sophomore, junior, or senior in September.

If you are a senior this year and have completed at least one previous summer program, then you are eligible for the Bridge Scholarship. Please contact your local coordinator to learn more about the Bridge Scholarship and how to apply, or email ub@uwyo.edu.

The Upward Bound and Upward Bound Math Science Summer Program will be held in Laramie, WY from June 1st - July 3rd, 2025. 

Summer program applications are now available! If you are interested in applying to be a student participant, ask your coordinator for an application.

If you are a current college student and are interested in being residential or academic staff for the summer program, email UB@uwyo.edu for more information.
