The eight (8) TRIO Upward Bound and Upward Bound Math & Science Programs at Sonoma State University serve 553 pre-college (9th – 12th grade) students who attend targeted high schools in Sonoma, Napa, Mendocino, and Lake Counties. Five of the programs are based at partner school sites where participants engage with a daily college-readiness curriculum. In addition, other participants attend a rigorous Saturday Academy and six-week Summer/STEM Academy along with participating in test preparation, financial aid, and college application workshops. All students attend numerous college campus tours and frequent social and cultural field trips. Participants are prepared to enroll, persist, and graduate from the four-year college/university of their choice.
