This federally funded residential program offers a comprehensive college immersion experience with academic and enrichment services specifically tailored to support first-generation, Pell Grant-eligible high school students pursuing STEM.
FIU Upward Bound Math-Science is a federally funded TRIO program designed to provide academic and enrichment services in mathematics and sciences to first-generation, Pell Grant-eligible high school students interested in STEM fields. The program aims to give students a competitive edge for rigorous college STEM programs. Participants engage in a year-round program with an additional summer residential component, offering a simulated college experience, including living in dorms and taking classes. The curriculum focuses on strengthening foundations in subjects like English, mathematics, chemistry, and physics, and includes test preparation. Beyond academics, the program offers college counseling, virtual and in-person college tours, QuickTalks, and tutoring services. Students also participate in fine arts, sports, field trips, and group activities, fostering personal, career, and cultural development. The program emphasizes building research skills, career exploration, and personal goal development, all while preparing students for the college application process.
A typical day during the summer residential program involves students living in dorms on the Modesto A. Maidique Campus and attending academic classes in subjects like English, mathematics, chemistry, and physics, along with test preparation.
This program is best for first-generation, Pell Grant-eligible high school students with a higher education interest in STEM fields and an unweighted 3.3 GPA, who are seeking academic enrichment and college preparation.
