Due to COVID-19 the application and interview process will be conducted online until further notice. To apply to participate in the program, applicants and their parents should complete the following steps:
- Complete the Student and Parent portion of the Participant Application. Please go to http://umbc.edu/go/699 where you will be asked to enter the name and e-mail addresses of the student and the parent/guardian who will be completing the application. The application will then be routed to the student and the parent/guardian via e-mail.
- Request that at least one teacher and your guidance counselor complete recommendation forms.
- Send a copy of any current grades, transcript, and test scores to upbound@umbc.edu with the student’s name in the subject line.
Once all parts of the application are received, a member of the Upward Bound staff will contact you to conduct a phone or online interview.
