High school programs
Project Uplift enables high-achieving rising high school seniors to experience college life on Carolina’s campus. It seeks to engage participants with a day full of exploration of our campus, advice for applying to college, and opportunities to get to know other talented rising seniors and current UNC students.
Uplift PLUS is an intensive, 2-week summer academic enrichment and college-readiness program for Project Uplift participants. During the program, participants live on campus, take an essay writing course, participate in cultural competence workshops, and interact with campus partners and offices. Participants also engage in college application prep, leadership development, and experiential learning opportunities.
Upward Bound Program at UNC-Chapel Hill is a Federal TRIO Program funded to serve 102 eligible high school Scholars in select schools in Durham, Chatham and Lee Counties. Our goal is to help scholars build the skills and motivation needed to pursue and succeed in college and earn a bachelor’s degree. The program is a part of the Office of the Provost and has been offered on Carolina’s campus since 1966.
