TRIO Upward Bound is a long-standing college access program at Cal Poly Humboldt (formerly Humboldt State University), serving students since 1966—almost 60 years. The program has helped thousands of local high school students gain access to colleges and universities, as well as financial resources to pay for college.

Today, TRIO Upward Bound continues to enhance, enrich, and empower the lives of participants ✨ Serving Humboldt and Trinity Counties, staff travel over rivers and through the woods to advise, support, and encourage rural students to pursue meaningful postsecondary education opportunities.

Your gift helps build robust, rewarding, and engaging programming for students who may not otherwise have access to these resources. It ensures continued exploration and exposure to opportunities where students can achieve their educational and career goals and become leaders in our communities, our nation, and our world 🌎

Every gift matters. Donations directly impact students striving to break barriers, overcome challenges, and create brighter futures for themselves and their families. Be part of this transformative mission—give today and help TRIO Upward Bound students thrive, succeed, and progress 💛
