College Bound
College Bound provides promising high school students from under-resourced backgrounds with the academic enrichment, social supports and life skills needed to apply, matriculate and succeed in four-year colleges. The College Bound program begins with students in their freshman year of high school and remains with students until they graduate from college. It has a daily presence in participating high schools and works closely with both families and high school staff, along with university partners, to ensure close alignment between high school preparation and college success. The College Bound culture is one of high expectations and high support with an unwavering focus on degree completion.
Since being founded in 2006, 100% of College Bound students have graduated from high school AND matriculated to a 4-year postsecondary institution. College Bound collegians are on track to graduate at 7 times the rate of their low-income peers, and at the same rate as those from the highest income quartile.
