Fayetteville State University is working to counter learning loss that resulted from the pandemic with their Upward Bound Math & Science Program.

The program, which is virtual, will take place during the summer to help students prepare for a return to classes in the fall. 

 “We know that high school students have Zoom and Google fatigue and want to have a face-to-face experience," said Dr. Thompson Pinckney. "While our program is virtual this summer, we have engaging activities that go beyond the camera.” 

“All new students receive a backpack swag bag with educational supplies and will participate in hands-on STEM activities along with projects facilitated by great educators that they can work on from the comfort of their homes," Pinckney said. "We need students to join now and take advantage of this immersive fall experience at FSU.”

Eligible students must be enrolled in  Cumberland County Schools and be rising 9th-, 10th- or 11th-graders. 

The UBMS program is accepting applications, although spaces are limited. Students who join now can expect support throughout their high school careers so they are prepared to earn a college degree. 

Students will also receive a stipend for each activity they attend, and lunch is provided each day. 

To learn more about the program or eligibility, call 910-672-1677 or email anellis01@uncfsu.edu. Students can apply at https://botform.compansol.com/202014553584046.
