» TRIO
The Upward Bound Math/Science (UBMS) Program at Northwest Missouri State University is a federally funded TRIO program that supports low-income, first-generation high school students in grades 9–12 who are interested in pursuing careers in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics).
UBMS offers both an academic-year program and a summer residential experience that provide students with enriched academic instruction, social and cultural exposure, and personalized support. The program is designed to help students successfully complete high school, prepare for college, and persist in STEM majors through postsecondary education and beyond.
During the week participants attend various math, science, and technology classes, Foreign Language, Literature classes and Counseling. In the evenings, we have group recreation, College Readiness, and study hours. Weekends include fun and educational field trips related to their learning and time set aside for church, relaxing, or laundry. The schedule stays full, but they always find time to have fun and build friendships.
The Upward Bound Math/Science (UBMS) Program is not just about STEM but about setting high school students up for success in college and beyond. The program supports students as they complete high school, transition to college, and work toward achieving their career goals.
UBMS is divided into two main components: the Academic Year Program and the Summer Residential Program.
