Upward Bound is currently recruiting motivated high school students in 9th, 10th, and 11th grade that currently attend a Pittsburgh Public High School, who have an interest in attending college after high school.
Rising Sophomore and Junior students who return applications by May 15th may be eligible to participate in the Summer program.
About Upward Bound
Go beyond your expectations, and achieve academic success with Upward Bound, a dynamic college-readiness program at the University of Pittsburgh. Upward Bound provides fundamental support to high school students in preparation for college by giving them the edge they need to improve grades, develop social skills, and identify interests and potential career paths.
Upward Bound, part of the Academic Resource Center, is a federally funded TRIO Program for low income and potential first generation college youth in high schools across the nation. The goal of Upward Bound is to increase the rate at which students complete their high school education and enroll in and graduate from postsecondary institutions. By the time students graduate from high school they will be well equipped with what it takes to attend and graduate from the college of their choice and will have also discovered new possibilities and hope for the future.

The Financial Times of London calls Pittsburgh's Lawrenceville neighborhood a "Diamond in the Rust," and quotes former CMU professor Richard Florida's continuing admiration for the area.
"He did the research for the book that made his name, The Rise of the Creative Class, there, and he thinks Lawrenceville – with its inexpensive housing stock, growing number of restaurants, bars, arts outlets and specialty shops – has what it takes to attract and keep precisely the type of people he describes in that book – the designers, engineers, technology workers and artists he sees as the drivers of contemporary economic growth," the article states.

Roving Pittsburgher
Have you ever heard of a runner who waits until all the other runners leave the start line before he takes off? Well that is exactly what The Pittsburgh Promise Charity Chaser did on Sunday at the Dick’s Sporting Goods Pittsburgh Marathon.
Dane Rauschenberg runs a marathon almost every weekend. This weekend he ran the Pittsburgh Marathon to raise money for The Pittsburgh Promise. He will raise money by starting Dead Last, and by passing as many runners as possible during the course of the race. Instead of getting sponsors per mile, Pittsburgh Promise asked for sponsors to make a pledge based on the number of runners that Dane passes on the course. There were 10,000 runners registered for the Pittsburgh Marathon. Dane anticipated passing 90% of them. 100,000
The Promise is transforming the lives of Pittsburgh Public School students by helping their dreams of a college education to become reality. Before you decide if you will pledge, please take a moment and read about Sarmed, a 2008 Schenley High School graduate. He finished high school with a 2.0 grade point average and just squeaked into a Promise Scholarship. Every time I tell his story, I watch people gasp with joy at the power this program has to motivate students to dream big about their lives. Here’s the link to Sarmed’s story: http://www.pittsburghpromise.org/scholar_update.html Enjoy!

Steeltown Heroes—Don Carter
While an injury ended his baseball career, Don, who was recruited by the Small Business Administration, ended up as a “major league” player for small business owners throughout Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
Carter enjoyed a 37-year career with the SBA, holding the final duties of the Pittsburgh Deputy District Director
In fact, he once estimated that he had been indirectly involved with some 20,000 SBA loans.
During his long tenure, Don recalled to staff members that he had held almost every district-level job with the agency.
“I’ve done loans, run the 8(a) program, worked in the disaster program, did counseling, training and was an SBDC project officer,” he once said joking. “I’ve done it all, there’s nothing I haven’t done except maybe get a loan.”
Throughout his career, Don had worn many hats, serving as assistant district director for minority small business; assistant district director for business development and acting district director in both West Virginia and Pittsburgh. In 1996, he relocated to Pittsburgh to assume the role of deputy district director.
Carter, who attended West Virginia State College, once worked for a telephone company, an entrepreneurial development company and even owned a daycare center.
He stated that he loved his job.
“I enjoy helping people and seeing people become successful and obtaining their dream,” he once said. “But, I am most proud of my involvement in the 8(a) program.”
He was born Jan. 3, 1942 and passed away at 67 -- April 14, 2009.
He served on a number of local business-related committees including the Minority Business Opportunity Committee, Minority Women Disadvantaged Business Enterprise and the African American Chamber of Commerce. His involvement did not go unnoticed as he was lauded three times by the Pittsburgh Federal Executive Board as Bronze Award winner for the Excellence in Government Awards program. He also was a recipient of the Minority Small Business Advocate award.
In closing, Don received many awards throughout his career at SBA, but his career was more than this. Don lost his dream to become a baseball player because the dear Lord had a higher calling for him. His true mission was to help small businesses become home run hitters. Don is looking down and smiling for having a great batting average in helping small businesses. When you think of Don, look up and say “thank you for the home run you gave my business.”
