The College Bound Program was initiated with the summer session of 1967 as a far-reaching attempt to help disadvantaged students complete high school and enter and succeed in college. A consortium of local colleges and universities agreed to admit successful program graduates and provide them financial aid. The program has remained essentially unchanged since it was begun. The objectives of the school year program are: to increase the number of pupils completing college preparatory requirements and being admitted to college; to improve the quality of academic work of pupils in the program; and to improve pupils' attitudes toward education, resulting in regular school and class attendance and punctuality. The objectives of the College Bound summer program are: to raise the ability levels of incoming students in English, mathematics, and foreign languages; to provide a transition between junior high school and high school; to provide motivation for learning; to improve study skills; to help resolve individual and home difficulties affecting learning; to add to cultural background; and to provide a transition between high school and college for a small number of specially identified College Bound graduates. The school year program is presently serving approximately 10,250 pupils, while the summer program serves approximately 2,000 College Bound students. (Author/JM)
