How to Apply
First, WHEN to apply ...The preferred application deadline is January 31, but applications will be accepted until all the available "slots" are filled.
However, it may be to your advantage to apply early because of the required tax forms. If the application for summer 2009 is postmarked before December 31, we can accept the tax forms covering 2007, which were due the previous April. If the application is postmarked after December 31, send the 2007 tax info now, but we will also need to get the 2008 taxes when they are available. this way we will have "current" information on file. DO NOT DELAY sending your application because you are waiting for this year's taxes to be figured. Send the 2007 taxes and your application immediately.
Then, HOW to apply ...
There are two (2) ways for you to apply for the Upward Bound Math & Science program.
You may obtain and complete the UBMS Application form
In each case you need to "snail mail" the completed application to the UBMS Center.- from your high school counselor (or math or science teacher), or
