A brief description of the institution’s participation in federal TRIO programs:
The Educational Opportunities Program (EOP) is an academic program that motivates and enables low-income and first generation students, whose parents do not have a baccalaureate degree, to enter and succeed in higher education. EOP consists of the following projects:
Upward Bound (UB) and Upward Bound Math & Science UBMS:
UB and UBMS are federally funded TRIO programs. Their mission is to assist and educate low-income and first generation high school freshman, sophomores, juniors, and seniors in their goal of becoming a college graduate. The UBMS program is for students with a strong interest in the math, science, or technology field. We recruit students who live in the city of Milwaukee.
