Upward Bound
The Upward Bound Program was the first TRIO program established at IECC and has continued to provide services to the community for the past 16 years. Upward Bound provides academic tutoring, college and career awareness, and cultural enrichment to 65 eligible high school students each year. Students participate in weekly tutorial/counseling sessions, attend workshops, and a summer program at Olney Central College in addition to participating in two overnight college/ cultural trips during the academic year. Students from Clay City, East Richland, Edwards County, Fairfield, Lawrenceville, Mt. Carmel, Oblong, Palestine, Red Hill, and West Richland high schools must apply for acceptance and meet program requirements to be considered for participation in the program. Upward Bound services are free to all students and their parents who qualify for the program. Call Olney Central at 866/622-4322 or visit www.iecc.edu/upwardbound for additional information.
