Your high school counselor can help put you in touch with TRIO Upward Bound programs that are available in your hometown. These federally funded programs are designed specifically to help lower-income, first-generation students with services that may be hard to find elsewhere, like college advising and mentoring, financial guidance and academic tutoring. Getting involved in one of these programs early on in high school is a great way to stay on track to earning that college diploma.
Many colleges host their own TRIO programs and work with high schools to mentor first-gen students. Joining a college’s Upward Bound program can set you up for success later and possibly better your chances of acceptance to your program’s host institution.
