Abstract: The Department of Education is requesting a new application for grants under the Upward Bound Math and Science (UBMS) . The previous package was part of the regular Upward Bound Program (UB) (OMB No. 1840-0550) package. The regular UB program provides federal grants for three types of projects: regular UB, UBMS, and Veterans Upward Bound (VUB). However, each project has a separate collection; therefore we are requesting a new application package. The Department is requesting a new application because of the implementation of the Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA) revisions to the Higher Education Act (HEA), the authorizing statute for the program. This application will be used to award new grants and collect data under the UBMS program. The UBMS program provides grants to institutions of higher education, public and private agencies and organizations, community-based organization with experience in serving disadvantaged youth, combinations of such institutions, agencies and organizations, and secondary schools. The UBMS program provides grants to projects designed to provide the skills and motivation necessary for success in a program of postsecondary education that lead to careers in math and science.
