About the Program

TRIO Upward Bound is a free program that helps high school students prepare for their future after high school through meeting with an Outreach Advisor and attending a Summer Institute. Our goal is to give every participant an opportunity to further their education after high school and earn a 2 or 4 year college degree.

TRIO Upward Bound is a federally funded TRIO program that receives a grant from the US Department of Education. All of our services are provided at no cost to students. The resources used are viewed as an investment in each student's future. The only cost to you is time, dedication and a willingness to do your best!

TRIO Upward Bound is located at Montana State University Billings and serves 77 students in Yellowstone County.
