This \u201cCollege Ready\u201d grant will allow UWM\u2019s Upward Bound program to serve more students and expand the academic services offered.<\/p>\n<p>In the upcoming academic year, UWM\u2019s Upward Bound will serve at least 115 high school students from traditionally underserved backgrounds in its TRIO and Pre-College programs. These services will prepare students to academically succeed in college-level courses.<\/p>\n<p>Services include a year-round program of after-school tutoring, monthly parent\/student workshops, academic advising and educational field trips. During the summer a six-week program offers intensive instruction, tutoring and college visits.<\/p>\n<p>UWM was one of 34 recipients to receive some of the more than $4 million in College Ready grant funds awarded by Great Lakes. Recipient programs will provide services to students across Minnesota and Wisconsin, helping a total of 4,000 students succeed in higher education.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith the College Ready<em> <\/em>grant, UWM can continue to fulfill its mission of educational access, an essential aspect of our urban campus,\u201d said Donald Singleton, program director of UWM\u2019s Upward Bound.<\/p>\n<p>UWM\u2019s Upward Bound program was selected as a Great Lakes College Ready grant partner based on the strategies it has developed to help students improve their academic performance and its commitment to tracking results.<\/p>\n<p>###<\/p>\n<p>(CONTACT: Donald Singleton, 414-229-5399, <a
