Abstract: The U.S. Department of
Education is requesting a new Annual
Performance Report (APR) for grants
under the regular Upward Bound (UB)
and Upward Bound Math and Science
(UBMS) Programs. The Department is
requesting a new APR because of the
implementation of the Higher Education
Opportunity Act revisions to the Higher
Education Act of 1965, as amended, the
authorizing statute for the programs.
The APRs are used to evaluate the
performance of grantees prior to
awarding continuation funding and to
assess a grantee’s prior experience at the
end of each budget period. The
Department will also aggregate the data
to provide descriptive information on
the programs and to analyze the impact
of the program on the academic progress
of participating students.
