U.S. Senators Susan Collins and Angus King announced today that four Maine universities and colleges will receive a total of $2,161,002 through the U.S. Department of Education's Upward Bound Program. Upward Bound helps low-income, first-generation, and other students from disadvantaged backgrounds pursue higher education.
"Upward Bound and other TRIO programs are vital for students across our state, where we have a large number of first-generation college students," said Senators Collins and King in a joint statement. "This funding will help hundreds of students from disadvantaged backgrounds obtain a college education and unlock their full potential."
