The Upward Bound Program
Upward Bound is currently one of eight federal TRIO programs designed by the U.S. Department of Education to serve underrepresented high school students by supporting participants as they prepare for and navigate through college. The GW SMHS Upward Bound Program currently serves grades 9 through 12 from partnered public and public charter schools in Wards 5, 6, and 7 in the District of Columbia.
The George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences and its partners offer several outreach pipeline programs for high school students with backgrounds underrepresented in medicine.
