The aim of Upward Bound Classic is to help these students graduate from high school prepared for enrollment and success in postsecondary education programs. The program consists of two components: an academic year program and a summer camp program. The academic year component helps participants in target high schools around Alaska improve year-round academic performance. Target schools include highs schools located in Bethel, Kake, Minto, New Stuyahok, Nikiski, St. Mary's, Seward, Shishmaref, Togiak and Wrangell. During the year, students meet with project staff in their schools twice monthly and are introduced to postsecondary education opportunities and provided with advising to help ensure graduation from high school and enrollment in postsecondary education. The summer camp component brings 60 students (40 from target schools) annually to the UAF campus for an intensive six-week summer program of course work, field trips and a variety of social and cultural activities. Students are requires to take math and composition/literature courses and can elect to take courses in a number of other topics including environmental technology, journalism, justice, wildlife biology and computer science. Students live in campus housing while participating in educational, cultural, recreational and service-oriented activities. Students interested in applying to the Upward Bound Classic program must have completed eighth grade, have parents that do not hold baccalaureate degrees and meet specific income requirements set by the U.S. Department of Education. Applications are available on-line. If an applicant is selected to participate in the program, Upward Bound Classic will pay for all costs associated with attending the program, including transportation to Fairbanks from any community in Alaska, room and board, and all special fees and transportation costs for Upward Bound Classic activities.
