TRIO Upward Bound is a long-standing college access program that has been a Cal Poly Humboldt program since 1966, almost 60 years ago. The project has helped thousands of local high school students gain access to colleges and universities and financial resources to pay for college costs.

Today, the TRIO Upward Bound program enhances, enriches, and empowers student participants' lives. Currently serving Humboldt and Trinity Counties, Upward Bound staff travel over the rivers and through the woods to advise, support, and encourage local rural students to pursue meaningful postsecondary education opportunities. Your gift will help build robust, rewarding, and engaging programming for those who do not have access to resources or opportunities. It will also help ensure continued exploration and exposure to a world where they can achieve their educational and career goals and become leaders in their communities, the nation, and the world.

Every Gift Matters. Your donation directly impacts students striving to break barriers, overcome challenges, and create brighter futures for themselves and their families. Be a part of this transformative mission.

Donate today and help TRIO Upward Bound students thrive, succeed, and progress! They are the hope for the future.
