Our History


In November of 2003 the staff members at Upward Bound decided that not only should they be making ways to help students academically get to college but also financially, as a result Upward Bound at USM Dollars for Scholars was born. Upward Bound at USM Dollars for Scholars is a non-profit organization that provides scholarships to Upward Bound students that are going on to college.
Dollars for Scholars is proud to announce that we have given out about 50 scholarships in the past Five years with the average dollar amount of 200 per person. Students who have received these scholarships have attended colleges throughout New England such as: the University of Southern Maine, University of New England, and the University of New Hampshire.
