The Upward Bound Math Science PRISM program is designed to strengthen the math and science skills of participating students. The overall goal of the program is to help students recognize and develop their potential to excel in math and science and to encourage them to purse postsecondary degrees in these fields.
Upward Bound Math and Science: PRISM is a part of the TRIO programs which helps low-income Americans to enter college, graduate and move on to participate more fully in America's economic and social life. These Programs are funded under Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965 and are referred to as the TRIO Programs (initially just three programs). While student financial aid programs help students overcome financial barriers to higher education, TRIO programs help students overcome class, social and cultural barriers to higher education. The Tennessee chapter called Tennessee Association of Special Programs (TASP) helps to bring together those persons who have an active interest in or who are professionally involved in broadening accessibility to and success in formal postsecondary education.
Upward Bound Math and Science: PRISM is also connected to the Southeastern Association of Educational Opportunity Program Personnel (SAEOPP) whose motto is to bring together into a work and study community those persons who have an active interest in or who are professionally involved in broadening accessibility to and success in formal postsecondary education. The Upward Bound Math and Science: PRISM program is also linked with the SAEOPP- REGIONAL MATHEMATICS AND SCIENCE SYMPOSIUM.
Upward Bound Math and Science: PRISM is a great program for students wanting to go to college.
