Summary: Documents and photos detailing the Upward Bound TRIO program at Linfield College.
General note
Historical Note: One of several federal TRIO programs, the Linfield Upward Bound program commenced in 1970 and ran until 2012. This and other programs like it were designed to help low-income, minority and first-generation students overcome class, social and cultural barriers to higher education. Operating through seven school districts, Linfield Upward Bound was the second-oldest such project in Oregon. Upward Bound served the community by providing year-round tutoring, counseling, career exploration, financial aid application assistance, a six-week summer college preparatory residence and many other aids. In its last decade or so, the institution became more focused on providing assistance to high-risk Hispanic students in need of English Language Learning programs.
