The Department is requesting an
extension of the application used to make new grants under the
Upward Bound (UB) Program. This application will be used to conduct
the Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 competition for new awards and collect
data under the UB Program. The UB Program provides grants to
institutions of higher education, public and private agencies and
organizations, community-based organizations with experience in
serving disadvantaged youth, combinations of such institutions,
agencies and organizations, and secondary schools. Upward Bound
provides fundamental support to participants in their preparation
for college entrance. The program provides opportunities for
participants to succeed in their precollege performance and
ultimately in their higher education pursuits. Upward Bound serves:
high school students from low-income families; and high school
students from families in which neither parent holds a bachelor's
degree. The goal of Upward Bound is to increase the rate at which
participants complete secondary education and enroll in and
graduate from institutions of postsecondary education. This
discretionary grant falls under the streamlined grant process,
1894-0001, which waives the 60-day comment period (P.L. 104-13,
Section 3505(a)(2)).
