Who We Are
Upward Bound Wichita Prep provides limited-income and potential first-generation college
students with the opportunity to improve their academic, social and personal skills
while preparing for a post-secondary education. The program is available to 75 freshmen,
sophomores, juniors and seniors from USD 259 (Wichita). Once selected, students may
continue in the program through the summer following their high school graduation.
The program consist of both an academic year and a summer residential component with
each serving to motivate and encourage students to successfully complete high school
and attend a post-secondary institution. However, in order for students to maximize
the benefit of the program, they are highly encouraged to attend both components.
