1. UPWARD BOUND
2010
Application
TRIO programs, funded under Title IV of the Higher
Education Act of 1965, help students overcome social,
academic and cultural barriers to higher education.
The Upward Bound program at RMCC is funded in total (100%) by federal grant funding from the U.S. Department of Education, with an
annual budget of $339,381. For questions and other information, please contact Brenda Miner, Director of TRIO Secondary Programs at
479-243-0739, extension 1642.
2. Dear Parent:
Thank you for considering Upward Bound for your student! Let us take a moment to fill you in on our program,
the process involved in your student’s acceptance, and the commitment required of you and your student.
Upward Bound is a federally funded program, sponsored by the Department of Education. The Upward Bound
program based at Rich Mountain Community College in Mena works with approximately sixty-five 9-12 grade
students in the high schools from Polk, Montgomery, and Scott counties. We are a unique and elite group.
The Upward Bound program at Rich Mountain Community College assists selected participants in grades 9
through 12 to complete secondary school, enroll in post-secondary school, and complete a bachelor’s degree by
providing intense academic, career, personal, and financial advising; academic instruction in language arts,
mathematics, foreign language and science; tutorial services; college credit courses after their junior year of high
school at Rich Mountain Community College; college credit courses after their high school graduation at Rich
Mountain Community College; and cultural and recreational activities throughout the year to increase program,
staff, and participant bonding. The UB program provides professional development opportunities/activities to
strengthen/supplement the professional skills of the staff.
Who are we looking for? Upward Bound participants must meet family income guidelines as set forth by the
federal government. Additionally, neither parent may possess a four-year college degree. Our focus is to target,
select, and help those students in our area that have the desire and potential to succeed in college actually reach
their goals. These students do not have to be the top students in their class, merely solid students with a certain
academic, social and/or cultural need. If selected for this program, your student will be provided with all the
services listed on the adjoining pages, and upon entrance into college, should have completed about of 12 college
hours that will transfer to any college in Arkansas.
“UBers” do have to make quite a commitment to the program. They meet at least one hour a week after school
with an academic tutor, receiving academic support; another day with their designated UB Coordinator, receiving
support and enrichment in a variety of activities; and two Saturdays a month, where we include ACT preparation
classes, campus tours, etc. During the summer, all UBers are required to attend a six-week academic component,
which is highly rewarding. As long as they meet the requirements of the program, they remain in Upward Bound
until graduation.
The selection process is relatively painless. After we collect all applications, we will screen the applications for
those qualified based upon family income and parental education guidelines. Therefore, we will have to ask you
for some financial information. It will be kept completely confidential. Generally, if the applicant qualifies, they
are granted an interview that takes place at a nearby high school. This is informal. (They don’t need to feel
nervous.) We will interview the applicant and parent. The whole process takes about thirty minutes. After we
have completed the interview process, we will make the final selections. Those selected will start at the end of
October or early November. Please keep in mind that we are only able to take in about 15 students per year from
all nine schools, so if your student is not selected, it is not necessarily a reflection on their intelligence or abilities.
They are also welcome to reapply next year.
We hope that this letter answers a few of the questions that parents often ask. If you have any additional
questions, feel free to call (479) 394-7622, ext. 1633 or ext. 1632.
Sincerely,
Rodney Rowland & Jimmy Rackley
