UTA’s Upward Bound visited UTARI to learn more about the Institute for Predictive Performance Methodologies and the Automation and Intelligent Systems Division. Students met with researchers and toured UTARI labs.
Upward Bound (UB) is a federally funded program founded in 1965 by the U.S. Department of Education. Located at several institutions throughout the country, the Upward Bound Program at UT Arlington has been providing services to area high school students since 1982. UB looks to serve students who would be the first in their families to attend college, come from economically disadvantaged families, or who have demonstrated they are academically at risk.
UB provides students with tutoring, college readiness workshops, college tours, career development, networking opportunities, scholarship opportunities, and college credit.
