in your future.  Let us work with you and the guidance office to help you make that
decision.  Upward Bound is currently accepting applications to select 60 Altoona High School
students to participate in this exciting new program.  If you attended the Upward Bound
presentation last year, or met with Mickey Bellet in the conference room, you already know
about UB’s college visits, tutoring assistance, stipends, summer programming, and meeting
students from other UB high schools.  Here’s another chance for you to take advantage of
this FREE opportunity. Did you forget about the graphing calculator incentive to apply?  Do
you want to be included in our next drawing?  Anyone who submits a UB application by the
end of the month will be included in the calculator pool!  The winner will be selected from
those students who apply – or have applied – between now and January 31. Don’t miss out.
Stop into the guidance office to pick up a paper application, or use the Upward Bound flyers
