|
The Sooner Upward Bound (SUB) Program is designed to prepare
fifty eligible students from five inner-city targeted high schools for college
entry and success. The schools are listed below. The program’s rigorous academic and counseling
components are designed to provide students with three years of continuous
preparation for college beginning in the spring of their ninth grade academic
year.
The SUB Academic Component is comprised of both an academic
year curriculum and a six-week summer Sooner Academic Institute (SAI) held on
the University of
Oklahoma campus. The academic year curriculum consists of
bi-monthly meetings, monthly assignments and on-going academic advising. The six-week summer SAI consists of three
consecutive summers (beginning after the ninth grade) where completion of a
rigorous academic curriculum will be required of each student. The overall Academic Component is designed to
develop college-requisite competency in mathematics, reading, writing,
sciences, and academic/study skills.
The SUB Counseling Component connects to all other
activities and services provided by the program. The counseling component consists of four
interrelated sets of activities; career awareness and planning, college adjustment
and financial aid training, personal advising and mentoring, and academic
advising and motivation. The component
is aimed at equipping students for college by teaching effective strategies for
coping with stress in higher education.
This direction on survival and success is continuous throughout both the
academic year component and the SAI. PARTICIPATING HIGH SCHOOLS Capital Hill High School Douglas High School Northwest Classen High School Star Spencer High School US Grant High School
