What is UB?
The University of Georgia sponsors two (2) Upward Bound Programs. The Northeast Georgia (NEGA) Program serves fifty-five (55) eligible students from Banks, Jackson, and Wilkes Counties. The University of Georgia (UGA) Program serves seventy-three (73) eligible students from Clarke, Oglethorpe, and Madison Counties. The need for such programs in this area is strong, due to the larger number of low-income and first generation students. The proposed target area lies within a forty-mile radius of the University and is primarily populated by rural communities. These programs will initiate services which will facilitate the removal of barriers to academic success and catapult participants into positive post secondary educational programs.
These programs will select eligible participants each year to generate in them the skills and motivation necessary for successful completion of secondary and post secondary education. Assistance to the participants will be provided in the form of an academic year and summer residential program. Classes in composition, literature, foreign language, mathematics, computer technology, science, and a variety of enrichment courses are offered to participants. The highly qualified staff will enhance the operation of the programs and increase the likelihood of students improving their academic skills.
