The College of St. Scholastica's Upward Bound (UB) Program has been successfully providing motivation and post-secondary preparatory support to area high school students since 1993. Each year the UB Program works with 79 low-income, first-generation youth who have the desire and motivation necessary to successfully complete high school and go on to pursue a four-year college degree. Current UB students come from five target high schools - Cloquet, Denfeld, North Woods, South Ridge, and Wrenshall High Schools.
