UB teaches students about college entrance exams, college choices, preparing for college while still in high school, and so much more.

REQUIRED PARENT MEETING
Full Image
As you have heard over and over again, TRIO Upward Bound is a program that requires commitment during your entire high school career. However, we know that this commitment cannot just be you, it is important that your parent(s) need to commit as well. No, your parent(s) do not need to have an extensive commitment like you but we would like to know that they are okay with bringing you to campus for the Saturday Academic Meetings and that they will attend our parent workshops. 

Some of the questions that will be answered during the presentation:
 - What is TRIO Upward Bound?
 - How are students selected for the program?
 - What will be my, as a parent, commitment to TRIO UB?
 - How will this program help my child?
 - Who pays for all of this?
 - Who supervises the students during the summer program? 

Parents will need to park in Lot 7 (shown below. red square). If you type "UNT Lot 7" in your GPS it will take you right to it. The meeting will take place in the General Academic Building (where you have met each UB Saturday) in room 104. The presentation will start at 1:15 PM and end around 2:00 PM. 

If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to reach out to us at untupwardbound@unt.edu.

Some of Our Services

TUTORING

We understand that you are busy and sometimes there is no time to stay after school to get help. We do not want you to struggle because you are being involved or you do not have transportation. TRIO UB offers all students access to Photostudy. Photostudy is a 24/7 tutoring service that students can access either on their phone or computer. All you would have to do is submit a photo of your homework problem and they will automatically connect you to a tutor. This service is completely free for UB members.

We also offer in person tutoring during the week and for fifty-minutes during our Saturday Academic Meetings.

COLLEGE VISITS

Every year, at the end of the summer program, we take a college tour. We take two types of college tours: in-state and out of state. In-state tours typically consist of going a couple of hours away from Denton to explore colleges away from home. Out of state colleges consist of exploring colleges in the states surrounding Texas. The last state we went to was Louisiana and the time before that was Arkansas and Oklahoma.  During these college tours, we will see both two-year, four years, private, and public. We try to show a wide spectrum of options.

CULTURAL ENRICHMENT

A big part of college is learning to network with a wide range of people. A great way to do that, especially with professionals, is to discuss some cultural type events you have attended. Cultural events consist of museums, conferences, sporting events, historic landmarks, and so much more.
