The Upward Bound Project at Stevens Institute of Technology is a science, mathematics, and engineering program which generates in high school students the skills and the motivation necessary to successfully complete a high school education and then pursue and complete a post secondary baccalaureate degree in science, mathematics and engineering.

The goal of the Upward Bound Project is to introduce participants who are underrepresented in the professions of science, mathematics, and engineering to an intense academic curriculum, exposure trips in science and engineering, cultural activities, and college field trips.

The Upward Bound Project provides services to low-income and first- generation high school students to enhance and develop their learning skills, which assure students' success in science, mathematics, and engineering curricula at all educational levels and careers.
