Abstract:
The purpose of the Upward Bound (UB) and Upward Bound Math Science (UBMS) Programs is to generate in program participants the skills and motivation necessary to complete a program of secondary education and to enter and succeed in a program of postsecondary education. Authority for this program is contained in Title IV, Part A, Subpart 2, Chapter 1, Section 402C of the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008. Eligible applicants include institutions of higher education, public or private agencies or organizations, including community-based organizations with experience in serving disadvantaged youth, secondary schools, and combinations of institutions, agencies, organizations and secondary schools. UB Program participants must be potential first-generation college students, low-income individuals, or individuals who have a high risk of academic failure and have a need for academic support in order to pursue successfully a program of education beyond high school. Required Program services include: (1) academic tutoring; (2) advice and assistance in secondary and postsecondary course selection; (3) preparation for college entrance exams and completing college admission applications; (4) information on federal student financial aid programs including (a) Federal Pell grant awards, (b) loan forgiveness, and (c) scholarships; (5) assistance completing financial aid applications; (6) guidance and assistance in: (a) secondary school reentry, (b) alternative programs for secondary school drop outs that lead to the receipt of a regular secondary school diploma, (c) entry into general educational development (GED) programs or (d) entry into postsecondary education; (7) education or counseling services designed to improve the financial and economic literacy of students or the students’ parents, including financial planning for postsecondary education; and (8) projects funded for at least two years under the program must provide instruction in mathematics through pre-calculus; laboratory science; foreign language; composition; and literature.

Burden Reduction Due to:
Short Statement:
There is an adjustment (increase) of 204 respondents, which caused an adjustment (increase) of 3,807 hours in the total burden hours. These adjustments are due to an increase in the number of successful applicants in the 2017 UB and UBMS grant competitions. There was also a program change (increase) of 133 total burden hours caused by four changes to the APR. 1) In these competitions, applicants could receive additional points for addressing a Competitive Preference Priority (CPP). A question was added to the existing collection to allow grantees to report on CPP outcomes. 2) UB and UBMS grantees that applied for and received a one-time supplemental STEM award based on the Secretary’s Supplemental Priorities will summarize their STEM activities. This is a one-year reporting requirement. 3) Grantees will report more readily useful target school data that will be helpful to prospective student applicants. 4) The Department established unique identifiers (case numbers) to replace SSNs.
