Upward Bound Math & Science is a federal TRiO Program funded by the U.S. Department of Education, and hosted by West Virginia State University. The Upward Bound Math and Science Program (UBMS) serves fifty-six students from Kanawha and Logan County High Schools. The program is designed to prepare participants for postsecondary studies that lead to careers in the fields of math and science.

The services provided are necessary to motivate, encourage, and train participants for matriculation in mathematics and science majors and for pursuit of careers in these technical fields. The UBMS program offers a twelve-month program of support, which includes an Academic Year Support Program, a Summer Academy, as well as a Bridge Component. The twelve-month program will transition the students smoothly from academic year studies to the intensive summer curriculum and into college enrollment through the Bridge Component. The Academic Year Support program offers after-school tutorial assistance for six hours weekly and 16-Saturday sessions during the academic year. Additional tutoring hours are available during the week and during Saturday sessions if needed.
