Upward Bound and Upward Bound Math & Science

"From Student to Scholar"

Established at Loyola Marymount University in 2007, LMU Upward Bound (UB) is funded by the U.S. Department of Education with additional support from LMU. UB is part of the federally funded TRIO Programs and is designed to help students succeed in high school, prepare for college, and ultimately graduate from college. In 2017, LMU expanded its services by launching a second program, Upward Bound Math & Science (UBMS).

Both programs serve high school students from families where neither parent has earned a bachelor’s degree and who meet federal income guidelines. Together, UB and UBMS support 118 students from Westchester Enriched Sciences Magnet (WESM) and Inglewood High School.

Our services include:

Academic advising, workshops, and tutoring
Support with the college and financial aid application process
College visits and enrichment activities
Community service and leadership opportunities
A six-week summer program at LMU, which includes three weeks living on campus (residential) and three weeks commuting to campus (day program)

LMU Upward Bound Classic and UBMS are committed to providing equitable access to all eligible students. Admission decisions are never based on gender, race, national origin, color, disability, or age.
