WE ARE DEDICATED TO MAKING A COLLEGE EDUCATION ACCESSIBLE TO ALL APPLICANTS, INCLUDING VETERANS.

Veterans Upward Bound

The Veterans Upward Bound (VUB) program offers free training and development sessions for the academic areas in which our admission application requires proficiency. The program also provides short-term remedial or refresher courses for veterans who are high school graduates or GED recipients but have delayed their pursuit of college. VUB assists veterans in securing support services from other locally available resources, including the Veterans Administration, state veterans agencies, veteran associations, and other state and local agencies that serve veterans. Contact Veterans Upward Bound at 404-413-1712 for help starting your academic journey.
