Upward Bound Participants
We have received incredible feedback from the students. Each student, when they apply, must submit an essay on who they are, what they want to do, and what they will use their device for. We have the absolute privilege to read their essays. Some of them also submitted pictures for us to use! Here are some of the students we are supplying devices to!
