Veterans Upward Bound
Veterans Upward Bound (VUB) is part of the TRIO program that is funded by the federal government with the main purpose of preparing military veterans for post-secondary education. Whether you are planning on attending college for the first time or just want to continue on your collegiate path from a previous degree plan, we are here to help!
Keep in mind the VUB program is completely FREE of charge meaning, the veteran student will not incur any hidden charges whatsoever. All supplemental books or supplies will be provided upon availability. Academic instruction is available for English, mathematics, science, career advising, computer literacy, and Spanish.
This program is also designed to help establish all the fundamentals necessary to perform at a college level. Additionally, VUB is a great resource for providing student veterans with academic sources, employment referrals, Veterans Administration application guidance, and community assistance organizations.
