Upward Bound programs were established nationwide in 1965; Idaho State's Upward Bound was among the first group to be funded and has continued to exist for nearly 60 years. The Upward Bound Programs are 100% funded by two grants from the U.S. Department of Education, and all activities are free for participants. Eligible students have parents without a 4-year college degree and/or have family taxable income within federal guidelines.

The Upward Bound Programs work with high school students to support academic performance and navigate the process of applying to the colleges of their choice (including applying for financial aid and scholarships).

During the academic year, advisors visit each high school on a weekly basis to check in with participants, providing support and guidance on a variety of topics, including the college application and financial aid process for seniors. Saturday sessions occur 1-2 times each month and provide opportunities for tutoring, developing study skills, college preparation, and enrichment activities.

Each June and July, the Upward Bound Programs run a six-week Summer Academy on ISU’s campus. Summer Academy Scholars live on campus and take classes that help with performance in high school subjects or expose students to subjects that are commonly required as general education courses in college. Advanced students have opportunities to take dual enrollment courses and to work in paid internships on campus or in the community.

Graduating seniors are eligible for statewide and regional TRIO scholarships. Approximately ten seniors each year are selected to receive scholarships to attend Bengal Bridge.

The University Honors Program is an academic learning community that offers a broad range of enriched educational experiences, typically found at a small private college, for bright, talented, and ambitious undergraduate students. The main goals of the program are:

1. Interdisciplinary Scholarship – developing the ability to integrate knowledge to express well-constructed insight and originality of thought through multidisciplinary courses and methodologies.
2. Intellectual and Creative Engagement – using the appropriate methodology and theoretical framework that includes design, synthesis, and interdisciplinary research.
3. Citizen Scholar – addressing real-world problems and finding ethical solutions, a process that culminates in reflective civic engagement, respect for diversity, and service-oriented action.

The University Honors Program offers opportunities for broader, deeper, and more complex learning experiences for students through interdisciplinary, theme-driven course sequences. Courses are designed for students who are motivated to develop their critical and creative thinking in a more personalized atmosphere than may be expected in typical courses. These courses are offered in small class sizes (25 maximum enrollment), deal with broad and/or interdisciplinary issues, and confront some aspect of the human condition. Innovative teaching and assignments are encouraged, and interaction with faculty and class members is lively. The University Honors Program curriculum fulfills many of the General Education Requirements. Please check isu.edu/honors for this year’s core curriculum themes and additional information.
